About Dorcus

I would describe myself as a great listener with exceptional communication skills. The main thing that attracted me to being a caregiver to the elderly specifically was that I'm able to assist in they're transisition weather it be in hospice or at home daily needs. Being a caregiver I enjoy the conversation with patients learning about them and they're life and the main thing is just making them feel comfortable and letting them know they aren't alone. As a caregiver my greatest accomplishment which has helped to further my career would be becoming a certified Phelbotomist and in my personal life my greatest accomplishment would be me becoming disciplined in my workout routine how I treat my body and what I put in it.
