About Debora

Caregiver, Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) I started working as caregiver since I was 13 in 1976 when my step great, great grandmother was very sick and moved in to our house bedridden-patient. I did everything for her: feeding, cleaning up all kinds of messes, bed baths, sponge baths, undressing, dressing, grooming, transfers with assistance since she's very overweight, showing kindness, patience, empathy, compassion, genuine love and care, respect and dignity. Then, I was taking care of my grandparents; then, my father who was diagnosed with CML until he died on 2002; I was taking care some relatives and friends. I worked with people with medical issues: blood pressure problems, endocrine disorders, diabetics, stroke sufferers, different types of cancer, brain disorders, mental disorders, Alzheimer's and different types of Dementia, Parkinson's, ALS, MS, and more. Since I arrived here in US in 2007, I worked in six-beds board and care, Memory Care facilities and Assisted Living facilities, Skilled Nurse Facility as certified nurse assistant; I did caregiving in private homes, in-home cares (IHSS), housekeeping, laundry, range of motions physical exercises, and more. Also, my Mother-in-Law suffered with Parkinson's Disease. I was taking care of her since 2016 until she died on October 25, 2019.

Hello friends, My name is Steve and I've been caring for people for 10 very rewarding years. I love being the best friend to people in much need of care. It's truly been the best job I've ever had. I understand that a lot of trust, respect and care is what caregiving is all about. I'm a culinary trained cook, so I can pretty much create whatever is desired and/ or craved. I have my own insured vehicle w/ an impeccable driving record as well. I have had many clients that have been very happy w/ my services, I also have many satisfied families who can attest to my unique quality of care. My hobbies are hiking, going for drives, most sports, definitely cooking, listening to music, reading and watching good movies. I'm an excellent w/ conversations and a good listener as well. It's also very important to mention I love animals. Thank you for time and consideration. Steve AA
