About Deidra
Experience: 8 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I cared for my mother, who had Parkinson's Disease for over 15 years. She passed away in 2010. I then moved to Arizona to care for my best friend's mother. I lived with and took care of her for several years before she had a major stroke and had to move into an assisted care home. Beginning in 2019, I cared for a beautiful soul who had also suffered several strokes with some paralysis. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2021. When Covid hit, I moved back to Kansas ( where I was born and raised). I am currently searching for my next blessing. I am extremely caring, energetic, and love connecting with others. I believe caring for others to be my calling, and I am passionate about making each day count! I strive to make the life of your loved one full of compassion and comfort while enabling the family to feel at peace and secure while I am there.

We hired Deidra as a 24-hour live-in caregiver to help with my mom in the last 6 months of her life. But Deidra is so much more than a caregiver. I prayed for someone like her to come into our lives. In terms of taking care of my mom, Deidra managed her meds, changed her, provided 24-hour loving companion care, cooked delicious meals based on my mom's changing needs, helped us manage supplies, and effectively communicated with our nurse and other hospice professionals. She did everything! AND Deidra quickly became integrated into our family. Because my mom lived here with me and my 9 year old son, Deidra became part of our daily flow. When she could, she helped me with my son; she's a helped so much with our dog, Jack; she helped me around the house- including the plants in our patio garden. Deidra is very trustworthy, loving and experienced. She is also very sensitive to finding a balance and flow with families - which is so very hard especially during COVID.
