About Baraka

I am a CNA, wife and mother of two children. I come from a background in early childhood education, but am changing careers to nursing. and have experience assisting patients with all ADLs. I love being a caregiver because it is the most fulfilling job I have ever had. It brings me great joy to help people do the simple daily tasks that we often take for granted. I believe every day is a blessing and it costs absolutely nothing to make another person smile.

Ariana D.

Growing up I've always had a passion caring for others. When I was 16 my mother was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer (currently 24). I knew at that moment healthcare was my calling. I helped with transportation to doctors appointments, grocery shopping, toileting, dressing, grooming, bathing, and providing emotional care. I've worked in a senior home previously. I have experience working with a variety of different health problems (physical and mental). I proudly hold a CNA title and also BLS certified. The same love and care I provided for my mother and residents is the same love and care I can provide for you or your loved one.
