About Darla

With over 30 years experience at caregiving I'm very confident I could meet or surpass your expectations. I became a care giver at 17 when life dealt my family the blow of Cerebral Palsy. My Mother and Brother were at the hands of a negligent Doctor. I took personal care of him from day one. Including him living in my home on and off for 15 years. Unfortunately, 5 years ago my oldest sister with 2 Masters Degrees had a brain bleed. She is now in Long term Care. I have made a personal investment in my own family. I understand the stress you are feeling. I know how to help you.

    I have worked with mainly elderly patients in ophthalmology for 32 years. I have become very close to to alot of my patients. I became close friends with an elderly neighbor who had no family in this country. I took her to her doctor appointments and was with her when she passed away. I am still very close to some of the patients who I worked with. I have helped with my mother's care when I have visited her in Florida where she lives with my sister. She requires help walking and also showering. She and I love to play cards! I am also a CASA volunteer.
