About Anita

I have been a full time caregiver for the last 8 years. Prior to this field i was a loan processor the Real Estate industry. Being compassionate and loving takes you a long way. One thing i knew is that i related very well with kids and the elderly. I have worked with the toughest cookies in this field but with love i got through to all of them. Most of my my loving clients past away in my arms. I would feel so special when they called me the cherry on their ice cream, and they'd whisper goodnight in my ears and hug me to say how i was an angel to them. Care giving can be very challenging at times, i am glad i have the patience and love of god to take care of your loved one with all my heart. I believe in treating one like i'd want to be treated. I am a great cook, and my clients also enjoy healthy smoothies with flax seeds which keeps them regular with BM and vegetable juices. I am proud to say that i have always been able to accomplish all my tasks successfully with all my clients. I also like to pamper them with homemade rose n brown sugar exfoliant for a facial treatment and light massage after shower.

    Francis Ratcliff
    caregiver to a 94 year old. When I started working for her, Ms Ratcliff was only on liquids, she hadn't eaten any solid food in a year. I started blending different varieties of fruits and vegetables together and cooked chicken stew with rice and other variety of breakfast lunch and dinner and yogurt and ice cream for snacks. She started having 5 small meals a day and that to me was very rewarding. No other caregivers were able to shower her except me.

    Janine Johnson
    Ms Johnson had liver sclerosis. I administered her medications, doctors appointments, Errands, companionship, traveling, grocery shopping, housekeeping, cooking, taking care of pets, grooming, bathing, dressing, exercising. Many caregivers came and left and said that the job was too tough and Ms Johnson was very tough and demanding. I did find that to be true when I started, but right from the very first meeting she wanted me to be her caregiver, slowly but surely I got thru to her and she started loving me. She saw the truth in me and entrusted her whole house to me. There was lots of docs appointments and we were always on the go. She made me promise that I would stay with her till her last day because she said she knew that no one else would! Her last words to me in the hospital was 'Anita I love you sooooo much' we never knew that she would decline that night never to wake up again. I miss you Ms Johnson!

    I have been a caregiver since 2009. I have a great passion for taking care of others and have spent most of my working career doing so. I have extensive experience in almost every area providing care for this population. I have worked with a variety of Alzheimer's and dementia clients as well as Parkinson's, MS, Diabetes, severe respiratory issues, Huntington's disease , cancer and those on hospice all which include many different special needs. I have a degree in Psychology from CSUS that I earned in 1983. If there's something new I'm not familiar with, I'm more than willing to learn. I love to cook and most likely can make almost anything up on request. I'm always willing to do house cleaning and laundry. I take pride in my work and always go above and beyond what is expected of me. I enjoy conversing with those I provide care for, they always have such interesting memories and history. My mission is to always treat my clients with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. I also work at the San Juan Unified School District with Autistic preschool children which requires much energy, patience and understanding. I am also fully vaccinated. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications and how I can help you.
