Deborah Hamilton

I was initially hired as a healthcare provider for her husband, and to help in maintaining their 10,000 square foot house. Upon his passing, I stayed on in a similar healthcare capacity for my newly-widowed client, while also adding many new responsibilities. I became her personal assistant and began to oversee her day-to-day affairs, and I started to manage more than a dozen people who worked on her staff.

Here, my duties were similar to what they were at other agencies, but my talents as a compassionate and overachieving CNA were quickly realized, and I was sent out to work with the agency’s highest-end clients. They had the most demanding needs, and their affluence often afforded them round-the-clock care. I would work days-long shifts, or even longer sometimes, and be on hand for whatever needs that would arise, medical or otherwise.
