Add to FavoritesAbout Dessa
I am a compassionate, kind, intelligent caregiver. My 91 y/o mother introduced me to caregiving with the elderly at an early age. At the tender age of 14 y/o, I began care sitting with an elderly neighbor. We would watch TV together, talk, and have snacks together. My Mother also took me to visit individuals in nursing homes and in the elderly in their own homes. We would visit on a regular basis to provide companionship and care. What I enjoy most about caregiving is listening to the stories told by my clients and hearing them talk about their current events. The personal achievement that I am most proud of is that I have three college degrees.
