About Diantha

What makes me a great caregiver I'm a very compassionate person and I put myself or my parents in their place. How would I want someone to care for my family. Why did I become a caregiver I became a caregiver because at the age of 16yrs old I cared for my ill grandmother before her passing she went blind and from there I always said that I wanted to help those that can't help themselves. What is a personal achievement that I'm proud of. I'm proud of being that someone that never gave up I put myself through college as a single parent of three earning my associates degree as a certified registered medical assistant graduating cum laude and I also did private duty nursing for over fifteen years.

Being a single mother of two I did what I had to to raise my girls. Managing a restaurant was hard work and long hours. I didn't start doing what I wanted to until after they had left home. I've always felt a need to help others, even when I couldn't help myself . I'm compassionate , caring, patient, empathetic, and understanding of how certain diseases affect the patient. Not all stroke victims, Alzheimer's or disabled patients are the same. I work with people based on their personality and their specific needs. I was raised to treat people like I want to be treated and that's how I try to live my life
