Hell my name is Detra Stephens -Allen and I take pride in my performance and in my work ethnics and I am very reliable dependable and I complete my tasks by the end of my work shoes

I'm a great caregiver because I have a passion for care. I've been on both sides of the spectrum as a care provider as well as the family member of ones who've needed care. I understand the needs of the people I care for on a personal and professional level. I became interested most when I started to care for my mother. It had always been one of my interests, but at this point I decided it was for me. I enjoy knowing that the care I provide is top quality and makes people happy. The smiles on the families faces and the many thanks given are just the icing on the cake. Care is more than rewarding by thanks and smiles. It's an internal reward knowing that I could help. I'm proud to be able to give great care and service to all my clients. I have my CNA 1 and 2 certifications and have several years experience in caregiving and hospice care. I'm well rounded in getting to know and care about my clients personalities and needs.

I have 3 yrs of experience as caregiver with both group home caregiving and one-on-one dedicated care. I was drawn into caregiving when i begun caring for senior family members and have since enjoyed the positive impact that my job has on people that need compassion, patience and gentle love. I strive to give my clients a warm,loving, safe space space that allows them to be partners in the care I provide for them. I like to allow clients to experience a sense of freedom and independence within safety limits. Its important for them to know that they are being heard and appreciated, and that is my main goal in the care i provide.

I have always had an outstanding drive to help others. I started doing care giving as an "in" for the healthcare field and to be able to love my job. My first care giving experience was In-Home care. It brought a whole new light to my eyes. You never really realize how many people are struggling on a daily basis and who want to enjoy their life but, may be hindered by disabilities from accomplishing their personal goals and dreams. I love my field of work because i get to go home everyday feeling accomplished knowing i helped someone achieve something they may or may not have been able to do easily on their own. I love people and puzzles, both are perfect for assisting others. Sometimes you have to find a solution to the situation and thinking outside the box is my specialty. A personal achievement i'm proud of is having training and certifications that furthered my knowledge in the healthcare field. Certifications: -Basic CPR/First Aide -BLS Healthcare Provider CPR/AED/First Aid Come January,2018 I start my next program for a Certified Phlebotomy Technician. I plan to work my way up the latter and eventually find my "niche" in the healthcare and medical field.

I'm very humanistic I love being around people I love seeing people happy it makes me feel better about myself I'm able to listen to naturally understand what people are going through and one of my happeiest achievements must be doing this job that I care so deeply for for the past four years and I plan on continuing to do so for many more

I'm a 27 year old caregiver. I started in this field when I turned 18 years old. I chose this field because I grew up with my mom working in a foster home and seeing how much she enjoyed what she did made me want to go into the same field. Since being a caregiver what I love the most and take pride in is being able to put a smile on someone's face. Being that consistent reliability in their lives especially for the ones who don't have anyone to really rely on. The most rewarding part is knowing at the end of the day that I have made a difference in someone's life and it's what keeps me going. Yes of course there are stressful times but reminding myself why I do what I do keeps me going.
