About Lana

I became a personal care provider when I was going to school for my Social Work degree. I did this for two years while I was in school. Recently, I have gone back to being a personal care provider. I have been in this profession for four years now. I became a caregiver because I have a passion for working with people. I am caring and compassionate. I form trusting relationships with individuals quickly. I am flexible on the pay.

    Very compassionate and adaptable to whoever seeks a valuable caregiver. I also enjoy helping others so much that since my separation from the military I've always wanted to continue that drive for assisting others in need. The satisfaction I get from helping is something that drives me to continue what I do. I look foward to meeting with whoever may be

    I became a caregiver because of my mom. My mom was actually my very first client. I started caregiving when I was 18 and have been working inside facilities and in-homes since. I am compassionate and patient when it comes to taking care of others. I like to see things (or at least try my best to) how my clients and residents see things so that way I can best help them. I enjoy being able to help my clients and residents live a happier and easier life with the additional help and support from another who cares. I am very proud of how far I've come and how far I continue to reach. I am currently going back to school to be an MA so I can continue to help others around me. I anticipate going all the way to the top in the medical field, working my way up to an NP or PA.
