About Kathy

I have 4 years experience in caregiving. I have worked for companies and have also done personal caregiving. I've cared for my own family members and clients that became like family. I treat each client and their family as if I've always known them and they can be comfortable with me, knowing they can trust me. I have experience in hospice care as well as dementia and alzheimer's patients. I love being a caregiver because it gives me the chance to make a difference in people's lives and help out where others can't or don't have the ability to do so. I've held many hands as they took their last breath and been there to help the family through it. My grandmother was a nursing assistant and I would always go to work with her when I was younger which sparked my interest in caring for others. I have a very compassionate heart and caring personality which causes me to go above and beyond for my clients. Helping people and making a difference in their lives is a real passion of mine and I plan to do it for as long as I can. I'm dependable, trustworthy and someone you can always count on.

Hello!! My name is Deisha (pronounced Day-sha) and I am 40 years old. I waitressed for 15 years and have acquired customer service skills and a keen sense of urgency. In the past, I worked with 6 disabled women, in the home environment. Two days out of the week, I did everything from cooking and cleaning to encouraging control over thinking and emotions through positive thinking and behaviors, running clients to doctors appointments, etc. I'm most eager to offer sincere companionship. It's safe to say that serving people is a core part of my personality. It's true that this job requires hard work, that's to be expected. But you leave work feeling as though you've made someone's day brighter, and that's rewarding. I am fully vaccinated.
