About Debra

I am very customer service based. I like to provide top care for anybody who I take care of. I am very patient and an EXCELLENT listener, communicator, and problem solver. I like to turn frowns upside down with a sense of humor, positive affirmations, encouragement, empowerment, and acknowledgement I like to listen and hear people talk about their woes so they have somebody whom they can feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves to and provide a listening and empathetic and sympathetic ear and to provide encouragement and empowerment. What I enjoy most about being a care giver is easing my clients' worries about being properly cared for and easing their worries about having a stranger in their house. I also enjoy giving and respecting my clients' autonomy and abilities to provide for themselves where and when they can. I am proud that in every job that I have had I advanced quickly because I am a quick learner, and am able to execute every task and job with enthusiasm and top quality work. I take pride in offering top tier work ethic.
