About LIGHT DAREZ

I am a compassionate and dedicated companion caregiver who has experience working with elders and people with developmental disabilities. I practice patience and understanding with my clients. I enjoy engaging in positive and uplifting conversations. I am well organized and I pay attention to details. My greatest asset are my time management skills. I truly found my passion in life by working as a caregiver. What I enjoy most about caregiving is providing emotional support and running errands. My most recent personal achievement is becoming a two year breast cancer survivor.

I am loving and caring CNA1&2 with 18 years of experience. I enjoy getting to know my Patients. I love knowing that my job does matter. When I worked in retail, it always bothered me to think about the fact that really, if I wasn't there, no one would be terribly effected. The toy aisle might be a little more messy, but that's about it. That caused very low job satisfaction. As a CNA, even when a day is stressful, it helps to know that your patients need you and that your presence makes a big difference in their day. I don't like how so many facilities do not provide proper staffing for resident safety. I enjoy working with a patient in their home where they feel most comfortable.

My primary concern as a caregiver is to make sure that my client is able to function at the best of their ability and to make sure that they are having the highest quality of life that they are able to have. I am not only there for my client but I am also there for the family (such as: to let them go grocery shopping, are just to be another set of ears at doctor appointments or for the family. After a few days with the client and the family I begin to consider them family. I have a great amount of nurturing and empathy, some say I care to much but I give 150% to my clients and families. I enjoy order and dispensing medication, relating to my clients, enjoy the pass and working on family history. I have no parents or grandparents so my clients kind of fill these roles. I have been a first responder, EMT, CPR Instructor, nurse's aide, and medication aide. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having a D.N.S. that I work with for a long time trust me to teach new nurse's the medication routine and to be a charge nurse. As a personal care giver the highest praise I can be given is for my client to tell me I must be an angel and that they love me.
