Supporting the independence and well-being of seniors is a passion of mine which I am eager to explore. With a graduate degree in Special Education and one year of dedicated experience - caring for my Mami her last year of life, I provide compassionate, reliable care that makes a positive impact on your family's daily life. I have previously been trained in both CPR and First Aid to ensure your loved one's safety. Whether I am assisting with mobility, managing medications, or handling light housekeeping and meal preparation, I prioritize your family member's dignity and autonomy. I am calm, patient, and highly skilled at redirecting attention during moments of confusion or agitation. I always follow your preferred communication method to provide regular, transparent updates. I believe that respecting a person's independence is the foundation of excellent care. I look forward to bringing my friendly, empathetic approach into your home to help your loved one thrive.
Desiree might be the most impactful educator and caregiver my son will ever experience. Our son is non-verbal and on the autism spectrum and kids like him need a different level of care. Desiree sees kids like mine and always presumes competence. She is engaging and warm, firm but kind, and people of all ages are drawn to her wonderful energy. I'd call what she has 'magic' but that minimizes her abilities and effect on kids and young adults. True, she's naturally a people person but she has also dedicated her professional life to finding ways to engage and challenge kids like mine to work to their true abilities. We wouldn't trust just anybody with our son and it's so rare to find someone like Desiree who has deep knowledge and practice in caring for our most vulnerable kids while also being fun! Any family would be so blessed to have her.
