About David

I put human service before anything else in my professional world. The interests of the client I serve are the interests I hold close. I have a strong work ethic and keep a careful balance of accomplishing tasks while staying aware of one's personal preferences and sensitivities. I come from a large and close family and instill the values I've gained into every person I serve. I've been working one on one in healthcare and social work for over 12 years and understand people can use a helping hand every now and then. I live in South Central Seattle and have personal transportation on most occasions. I tend to work mainly in Seattle proper but can go to surrounding areas. My availability varies depending on when a potential client needs care but welcome interviews and encourage arrangements on a case by case basis. I wish you well in search of a private care giver.

David has been the lifeline between my mother's AL home and my family. As a CNA, he is allowed inside to check on her well-being and do exercise routines with her that the AL does not provide. He shows up even when we are having heavy rainstorms here in the Seattle area. His support for mom provides her family with great peace of mind. David is a treasure!

David, you have quickly become a valuable member of my mom Lorraine's care team. Your willingness to spend Saturdays with her allows me to have time to run errands with the knowledge that mom is well taken care of while I am away. You have a great rapport with Lorraine; you've taken an interest in her as a person and not just as a patient. Not many people make the effort to connect with an elderly person, but you do. It is much appreciated. I also value your background and experience. You assisted her with the chair and breathing exercises and logged the result without needing any guidance. Your professionalism and knowledge is a great benefit for my mom and for me. Thanks again.

As a Certified Nursing Assistant with ten plus years of experience, I enjoy getting to know people and contributing to their lives in a positive way. I do not shy away from working with various health issues. Most importantly, I want clients and their families to feel that they have received their money's worth when I have finished for the day. I reside in Seattle and am seeking local clientele. References from current and former clients are available upon request.
