About Diana

I love being an in home caregiver because I enjoy being able to give people the one on one attention they deserve. I enjoy learning the little things about a person that can give them a good day (such as wearing scrubs with pictures of cats on it for the person that loves cats). Little things like that can make a difference in being able to get a dementia patient to eat. I am also experienced in dealing with various mental health issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and schizophrenia. I'm never judgemental and strongly believe in validation therapy.

Everyone needs help from time to time. I like being that for someone, and hopefully making their day nicer, too. It's the little things that make a bad day better. I am not certified, but I have had multiple jobs as a caretaker, skills coach, and mental health aide. I have experience in most skills requested, and am very comfortable performing all care needs. I am open to expanding my skills, and will put in the extra effort and research needed. Ive had training in most everything listed, including lifting, mobility, CPR, and first aid. For anything else, please feel free to ask! Thank you.
