About Derek
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I absolutely love to help others in any way possible. I am very strong physically & mentally as well as patient. My life experience caring for elderly family members has taught me the most. I feel I can offer a multitude of skills & be trusted. I am a Navy Veteran. I welcome the opportunity to provide loving, personal care to those in need regardless of any amount of ailments they may have. Please read the description of the assistance I provided a senior veteran with Dementia in Lakewood Ranch for the past 18 months. He is moving with his daughter to another part of the US due to her recent promotion. I enjoyed every aspect of my time with this kind gentlemen. I provided personal care, medicine management, errands, exercise & companionship. Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to email or call me to discuss further details & how I may be able to help. I also LOVE animals! (my wife & I have a black labrador & 2 adorable hypoallergenic cats)

I highly recommend Derek as a caregiver for your loved one. He has been providing exceptional care to my dad who has moderate dementia for over 18 months. He is an excellent caregiver who keeps my dad engaged in a variety of activities to help him stay active and enjoy life to the fullest. He takes my dad to various sites, helps him with his exercise regimen, takes him hiking and to the beach, and even drives him to doctor appointments. Derek has truly become a part of our family and a dear friend to us. He is patient, compassionate, and an excellent conversationalist. We trust him completely, and he is always accountable and reliable. Our experience with him has been nothing but positive, and we are grateful to have him as my dad's caregiver. If you are lucky enough to have Derek as your loved one's caregiver, you will be in great hands. He will treat your loved one with the utmost care and respect, and they will likely see him as their best friend just like my dad does.
