About Malanna

I am a caring and empathetic person who loves helping others. My caregiving journey began at the age of 14 when my brother became a quadriplegic during his sophomore year of college. Since then, I have accumulated several years of experience working as both a CNA and a Direct Support Professional (DSP), providing care for individuals with developmental disabilities. I also had the opportunity to provide one-on-one private care for an elderly patient with dementia, assisting with medications, meals, light housekeeping, transportation, personal care, and companionship, while focusing on supporting her independence and overall quality of life. What I love most about being a caregiver is knowing I've made a positive difference in someone's life.

What makes me a great caregiver is that I am compassionate and empathize with my clients. I am there to help them, YES but I want them to feel that I care about them and will be there when they need me. I became a caregiver and chose this path for myself because I know what it feels like to have no one beside me and also does my grandmother and that's why I have been by her side . Its something about putting a smile on another persons face or picking them up when they aren't feeling so well, gives me a certain type of strength and confidence knowing that I can do that for a person that needs it the most. I also take my work very seriously and I am a very reliable and flexible.

Caregiving isn't for everyone, you have to have a great love for it and your clients! I've received Employee of the Month and Nurse Delegation certificate. I work for 2 locations under my company because I enjoy working so much! I truly enjoy the people I work for! I enjoy cleaning, organizing, grocery shopping, helping people get around and anything else I'm able to assist with! I love animals too!
