About Dedra

I became a caregiver because of my grandmother who passed away. I took care of her. I love being a caregiver the elderly needs someone who has the compassion and patience to take care of their needs. I have been able to become a Lead care manager and I have received employee of the month and was praised for my work. I have been working as a caregiver for over twenty years now and I wouldn't do anything else because this is what I was meant to do.

I'm a great caregiver for these reasons, I'm dependable,punctual,eager to learn,eager to help, I get alone with any and everyone,including pets.I was created for this field.I have compassion for what I do & also for the seniors I help. I am also a medical assistant. I love my career with such a passion that I knew at a young girl I wanted &needed to be in the medical field. I love been a helping hand to somsomeone that needs, or don't mind my help. I'm also a companion,friend to whomever I assist but we also become family from the time we spend together.I get to know who they are and they also get to know me.I TRULY LOVE WHAT I DO! I am a genuine person. I'm asked ?, how do I go out and beyond, honestly I don't I'm only doing a job I'm in love with. I want to assist the client and their families to maintain some normalcy in their lives. We (client, family, myself)change each other's lives. I don't consider my career a job as I love for I do. My reward doing what I love is the smiles I put on others face and the satisfaction of keeping my client safe, happy healthy, mobile and young, regardless of age or disability
