About Dawn

I have always felt that I was a natural caregiver. Happily married with 3 grown sons and 1 delightful grand-daughter., I have enjoyed caring for each and everyone one of them as thats where caregiving all began for me. First and foremost I believe that everyone deserves quality care and respect as human being. I have a strong level of patiences, compassion, and intuition which I believe makes me an ideal caregiver, besides being a great listener and wanting to give companionship to someone in need. I can cook, clean and chat with the best of them. I also respect ones need for privacy. I'm looking to help make someones quality of life a more comforting place. I understand how difficult it is to find someone to care for our loved ones. I myself was in this position and chose to care for my mother after having heart surgery. Working as a volunteer at Hoag Hospital for nearly 3 years, really gave me an appreciation for the need for caregivers. Look forward to meeting!

I've been a caregiver for 35 yrs. I started in this field when I was just 17. I love what I do. I come from a medical family and decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a doctor or nurse. I specialize in geriatric dementia and Alzheimers care. Every client needs to know they're truly cared for on every level with love, patience, and kindness. I enjoy learning from them ... they often have amazing histories, stories and lessons to share.I'm often with my clients for the duration of their lives.

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I like being able to assist others with chores and duties they cannot fulfill themselves, as well as being a companion to the elderly. A personal achievement I have made is making a difference in someone else's life. I have achieved this by tutoring many students within various school districts in all subjects, and youths both incarcerated and released, but were on probation. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Admin/Human Services, and plan to start on my Master's degree in the near future in Social work or Psychology. I love spending time with family and worship my four grandsons, they are a true blessing to me! ***My rates vary depending on the type of care needed and for multiple people. I also charge double time on holidays. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!
