Hi! My name is Dina and I was born in Maine but raised in Connecticut. I am 48 years old, single with no children. I became a senior caretaker/companion after 20 plus years in book publishing sales. I felt burn-out working in corporate and had a strong desire to do work that was more meaningful and personal. I am, by nature, a kind and giving person who has a particular ability to fit into many situations and make people feel comfortable around me. It is deeply satisfying to know I am helping someone to stay in their home and maintain their independence. I feel I receive far more than I give when caring for someone!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
