Hello, I am a certified nursing assistant with 11 years of experience. My experience is diverse with a combination of hospital, home health and long-term care. In 2021, I was inspired to start a business in home health care after the passing of my grandmother who had Alzheimer's disease. I pride myself in working hard and am compassionate, nurturing, and very efficient with my work. I have extensive expertise with caring for patients with Alzheimer's , Dementia and Special Needs Other skills include but are not limited to; wound care, diabetes, trach care, physical therapy, vitals, blood sugar monitoring , Gtube feeding , catheter care and comfort massages. I have a passion for the work that I do and would be honored if you choose me to help care for your family. Communication is vital in our business and I am never offended and welcome any and all feedback to make our working relationship strong and long lasting.

Darra is amazing! She helped my mom who was in home hospice with dementia during the final weeks of her life. Darra is very skilled and knowledgeable. She has a calming and pleasant disposition. She was very supportive for both me and my mother. Even though my mom was not awake much, Darra thought to comfort her with little extras like manicures. She taught me tips to make taking care of mom easier for me. I interacted with dozens of CNAs during my mom's journey and Darra is one of the best. I highly recommend Darra to care for your loved one.
