About Destiny

I've been a caregiver for 3 years now, and I love that I chose the medical path. I was interested in caregiving in 2019 because I found out my mom have stage 4 Lung cancer. This allowed me to take care of my mother, who I am still taking care of currently. I love what I do, I love helping and taking care of other people. I would want someone to take care of my mother the way I take care of other people grandmothers, and mother's grandpa's, and dad's! It's a blessing because caregivers/HHA are needed, and I am glad to be apart of this medical field and want to continue my medical education to becoming a RN and hopefully beyond that. I am currently in school at Ross Medical Education Center to get my MA certificate, after that it is back to school for LPN or maybe RN. What helps me to be a great caregiver, is getting up every morning knowing that there is someone in need of my help to get through there day! Some clients/ patients don't have family, and sometimes the caregiver become the family member they needed and I am happy to be that person, I am happy to come everyday and help out as much as I can as if it was my own grandma, or grandpa... or sibling or friend.

Experience & Education

Home Health Aide

Jun 2019 - Present
Bedside Angels
working with Bedside Angels, I worked two homes. First home, was two siblings, the sister was more independent and the brother was bedside only, as a HHA I meal prep, laundry, changed briefs, and also made sure both took meds. Second home, unfortunately the client was hospice, and the little time I was there I just made sure he was comfortable as possible, With the love and care I provided I would have never found this app by the help of the family.

I have been a care giver for over 10yrs I made this choice for my profession because of the empathy and compassion my heart holds for those who are in need. I know in some cases the type of care might be different and require special attention based on the individual. I'm experienced in caring for people who are Visually impaired,Physically or mentally Disabled, Alzheimer's disease,Dementia,Parkinson's disease, M.S. and those who are in Hospice Care. In addition to my certifications I am a certified CNA ( Certified Nurse's Assistant) I enjoy bringing my positive, care free spirit in the environment of the person I'm caring for. I know their lives have been altered in so many ways and my only hope is to help provide them with the upmost care, love and guidance. I hope to help them through their bad day's and make their good days filled with joy and comfort. For me that's the satisfaction I get out of being a care giver.
