Deborah A
PROFESSIONAL CAREGIVER
For 13 years, Deborah has been a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Driven by a philosophy that prizes giving over receiving, she has touched countless lives with her dedication and empathy. Deborah's journey as a caregiver began when she saw a friend become a CNA and witnessed firsthand the impact one person could have on the lives of those in need. Inspired, she followed the same path and quickly found her calling.
Over the years, Deborah has built relationships founded on trust and genuine engagement. She considers herself a caregiver and a faithful friend to her clients and their families. One of her most memorable relationships lasted for two years, during which she displayed an unwavering commitment to her client's well-being. It wasn't just about following procedures for Deborah but consistency, love, and determination. She is relentlessly passionate about meeting her client's needs, whether that means administering catheter and personal care or simply being a listening ear.
Her expertise spans various health conditions, including Dementia, Parkinson's, mobility impairment, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Deborah has also worked in hospice care, where her skills and emotional resilience truly shine. Despite the often taxing nature of her work, she believes in the importance of personal wellness and balance.
Away from her caregiving duties, Deborah finds relief in music and singing. She also dabbles in makeup, viewing it as a form of artistic expression and a way to center herself after long days.
What sets Deborah apart is her authentic desire to make a difference, one life at a time. Engagement is not just a word to her; it's a commitment. By being herself, she allows her clients to be themselves, too. With each day, Deborah continues to live her belief in the transformative power of giving, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she serves.
