About Desiree

What makes me a good caregiver is my personality and my work ethic. I am likely to find things to do to keep myself busy and keep my client busy with things they are able to do. I have worked with people with all ranges of abilities and I can easily adapt to new situations. I tend to find the silver lining in situations and my clients like that I am just an overall happy person. I know when to encourage and when to back off as to not exhaust my clients when they are trying to complete an activity. I like having open communication with family members so they can stay up to date on their loved one's progress.

I am trustworthy, patient, respectful, generous, and compassionate. The expertise that helps me to be a great caregiver is being a mom. Being able to help others is what attracted me to being a caregiver. Seeing the person, I help feel a sense of accomplishment, brightening someone's day, and just showing others that there are people who are willing to help is what I enjoy the most. One personal achievement I am proud of is that it seems my child is growing to be a thoughtful person by observing myself and others.
