About Darlene

Experience: 1 yr

I truly enjoyed my time spent caregiving for an elderly couple. One of which was nonverbal, with a bit of Dementia, however we still communicated and enjoyed each other's company. The partner was a beautiful feisty flower, yet we made the best of each day, no matter how gloomy the mood. During this experience, I creatively redirected my client's negative and sometimes even hostile feelings, into positive and more calming situations. By putting myself in their shoes, I am able to relate and sympathize. I became quite the expert in finding creative ways to distract and entertain, while ensuring their medical needs were met.

Darlene is the best! She took took care of my daughter at the age of 5 months. She was under her care for 4 months and she was wonderful, very professional always kept in communication with me. She was always safe and had lots of fun. She was with her from 8am to 6pm. I would highly recommend her if anyone is need of childcare.
