About Desha
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, my name is Desha. I have been a CNA for over 10 years. Supporting the elderly gives me a great sense of purpose. I am deeply passionate about caregiving because I personally cared for my mother through her health battles. That experience taught me the importance of patience, dignity, and true compassion when supporting a loved one. I have completed a CNA course and have obtained my Certified Nursing Assistant license as of June 2016. I am very responsible and dependable and I go above and beyond to meet my clients needs. I am experienced in providing high quality personal care, and assisting with daily activities, If you're looking for someone trustworthy and patient to care for yourself or a loved one in their (your) home then please feel free to contact me. Enjoy the rest of your day!
Most recent review
I am a physician and have worked with many different care providers over my career. Desha carried for my wife, who had dementia, for more than a year. Desha was spectacular and provided my wife great care and comfort through difficult times. Would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone.
