About Ottum

I was called to being a caregiver in 2016. I was looking to bring a deeper purpose to my life and started on the weekends to see how I would like it. By the beginning of 2017 I went full time, and working for an in home assistance company. Many clients like my bubbly, sweet, and cheerful disposition. I can however tailor my attitude accordingly to best fit my client. Though all have said this, I am consistent, loyal, and trustworthy. I'm not over bearing, or pushy, and always focused on my clients, not my phone. I specialize in Dementia care, and verbal abrasiveness doesn't make me run off. I know how to redirect behavior, and can calmly remove myself if need be from the situation. Many times I would return to the room and my client would have no recollection of the incident. I offer compassion, love and honesty, so it would be a pleasure to assist your loved one and a great opportunity to give them care they deserve.

My name is Dot, I am a great caregiver because I will care for my clients as though they were my family! I have been a certified nurses aid since July 23, 1993. Since then l have gotten my Medication aid certificate. I got into this field of work because I desided if I had to make a paycheck I was going to do help people in need to. I haven't been disappointed working as a care provider because it has helped me take better care of my family. The experience has made me a better person to and has brought me closer to God! My personal achievement has been to provide all of my clients with love and also have the knowledge to take care of my family!
