About Joe

Hi! My name is Joe and I live in Los Angeles. English is my first language and I've been a caregiver for over 10 years. I first got into this field unexpectedly when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Over the years I have worked with: Parkinson's, special needs, dementia, ALS, and end-of-life hospice patients. I love taking my clients for outings in this dynamic city and playing music based on their generation that gives them a sense of familiarity. I am an excellent cook! Some of my specialties include: red bean and rice w/ plantains, orzo w/ anchovies and balsamic glaze, and anything Korean... I have a minimum 12 hr requirement at $25 an hr w/overtime which comes out to $350 per day. Looking forward to helping you get back on your feet safely!

Hi, I'm Shawna, \"What makes me a great caregiver?\" I've raised six amazing children as a single mother and after 20 years of helping people feel good about themselves in the beauty industry, I took on the role of my 92 year old grandmother's caregiver. I cared for her for two years and I feel I've found my calling. I am, by nature, a very nurturing person so I'm in my element as a caregiver. I have excellent work ethics, I'm organized and very easy to get along with. I have a great respect for the elderly because they have paved the way for me and my children. I only pray that when my time comes, my children will take as good a care of me.

I have been a caregiver for over 17 yrs. I Have worked with wonderful people whom I still keep in touch with some of the families. What made this work so amazing and worth all the long hours and hard work is the bond you create with every Patient and their families. There are sad moments when the job is over but the memories stay in your heart for ever and sometimes we are just lucky enough to keep a nice relationship with the families of the patients we have taken care of. Through every job I have learned more skills I can bring forward to future assignments. Life is always a learning step.
