About Deborah

In my family I watched my grandparents and parents take care of the seniors, elders or who ever needed care in our family. Taking care of the people who once took good care of me became a part of my nature. I care for my grandparents when they no longer was able to take care for themselves and one day I will return the favor to my parents and care for them. I became a companion/caregiver because they are so many people who do not have family members that are able to care for them in their seniors years. And since I was nurture from a child to care for people who are in need of tender loving care. This profession chose me. Meeting people from all walks of life and listening to their life stories is like living in their time. Companionship is what most people miss the most in their life. And to just take the time out to listen to their life experiences is good for their well being. My greatest achievement to any person of any age I care for is smiling. If I can get a client to recognize it is okay to smile about any situation you are going through. Then being an companion and caregiver to them is worth the time, effort and patience.
