Hello there, Here is a little bit about myself. My name is Lana and I have been passionate about nursing and taking care of others since I was 7 years old. Growing up, I had a sick mother who has always been under medical care and it is since then I had an opportunity to be in contact with doctors and learn much about the healthcare field. I graduated with a nursing diploma over 20 years ago, and have been taking care of a wide arrange of senior citizens for 11 years in Chicagoland area. My most experience is live-in and live-out senior care of elderly with diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's, etc. I am dependable and flexible provider of physical and emotional care to the elderly. Please review the list of services I provide and do not hesitate to ask questions. I have my own vehicle and a valid IL Driver's license, clean driving record and background check. I would bring references to an interview. Please contact me if you think I would fit for the job. Warm regards, -Lana

I was in the restaurant business for twenty years before my father became ill. I chose to quit my job and take care of him until he passed away. It was the best, most rewarding experience of my life and I would like to continue taking care of others.
