About Dana

Hello, My name is Dana and I love being a caregiver because I enjoy making others happy.Even if it is something as simple as a favorite meal or activity, program etc. Since everyone is unique, listening and patiently learning to adapt to meet the needs of each individual has been the most helpful for me. Learning about their preferences and interests gives me ideas for activities they may enjoy doing during our time together. I have been caring for others for 10 plus years and have great empathy, insight and intuition. I respect the privacy and family of every person I care for. I love cooking and nutrition and can prepare many different types of food if desired. As a caregiver,I commit to the person and they become an important priority in my life and I look forward to my time with them. Thank you so much and best wishes to you and your loved one.

My name is Bernice . I am a caregiver by choice . I have been in the medical field for 30 years . In 1995 I I became a CNA and worked in every area possible allowing me to acquire skills and knowledge to broaden my career. First and foremost-it is in my nature to help people in any possible way shape or form that I am able. I have a heart especially for those that are in greater need. (Thee most vulnerable) *our elderly *children *pets:) To me this is more than a job. It's a mission. I truly believe we're GODS hands on earth we choose to do good or bad and by helping someone that needs my help I choose to do good. 2nd. Being someone's eyes, feet, hands in the end of the day the feeling is very rewarding. 3rd. Being part of a persons care/recovery at the end of the day is very rewarding. -I LOVE MY JOB! Bernice
