Dee’s Bio

I possess excellent personal assistant and caregiver skills. I have been employed as a caregiver for several years, assisting with medication management, personal activities, meal preparation and clean-up, companionship and outings. Some clients have had hearing impairment as well as experiencing varying level of cognitive impairment(confusion, disorientation, etc.)

I am dependable, patient and trustworthy. as well as companionable and intelligent.
In addition to care-giving, I am also certified to serve as an OMBUDSMAN for the FLORIDA DEPT. OF ELDER AFFAIRS, a position in which I investigate complaints from, and advocate for, those elderly persons who reside in long-term care facilities in the Big Bend region. This work requires that I undergo a Level II Security Clearance from the FDLE and FBI, which clearance is continually monitored for any untoward activities on my part.
