About Dave

was taught the value of helping others from family, and worked several years doing hospice work, which teaches us that life is short and to value every moment. One of the most memorable moments was being able to save the life of my friend who was having a seizure, making a quick decision to call 911 made the difference in getting a second chance at life. I'm a person who likes working with others, making a difference in achieving better quality living by using caregiving skills taught to me.

    5+ years of Caregiving experience working with adults with disabilities and the older population. I have a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Biology from the University of California, Davis and recently obtained my Bachelor's degree in Nursing from National University. Hoping to take the licensure exam soon but in the meantime I hope to continue helping what I feel is the often overlooked population that needs extra attention and care.

    I am a caring, trustworthy and kind person. I have been in the industry for over 7 years. It's my calling knowing that I can make a positive difference in someone else's life. Weather it be for the person in need of help along with the family members that gives all piece of mind. My most personal achievement is when it's time to leave someone's home, and want me to stay. At that time I know that I have done my job well.
