About Janet

I have experience as a paid companion in a job that was brief (because I had to relocate and I had warned employer before hiring). As a stay-at-home mom (before my son moved to college) and also a lifelong pet keeper and gardener, I enjoy tending others and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I have some experience with two Alzheimer's patients (my neighbor, before and after diagnosis, and my then father-in-law). As a long-time copy-editor for an academic publisher (before my son was born) I am also interested in gaining information and ideas to improve my knowledge and skills. I am extremely proud of my son (as a single mom for some years) and gardens I've made as well as the relationships I've found in Ventura (and the ones I've kept for years). I am happy to obtain a background check upon request (and have had several on another website through which I got my Santa Monica job) as well as references upon request.

Being a Caregiver is really natural for me. I have 3 years of CNA work experience . That was my first job after H.S and loved it! I did take a Medical Assistant course after that and have been in that position for about 15 years. I missed being able to have a more closer relationship with people and being a Caregiver I get to do just that and more.

I am passionate about helping people live meaningful lives. I am often told that I have a calming effect on others and that my presence is healing. I love to cook, garden, do errands and create efficient, organized ways of accomplishing daily tasks to allow space for enjoyable, meaningful interactions. As a designer and healer I find beauty in everyday moments and love to share my inspiration with others. I kindly, patiently encourage and foster the best in those I spend time with. As a mother of three, caregiving is an integral part of my sense of well-being. I also deeply appreciate the time I spend with elders and their families and find that giving from my heart is deeply rewarding. For me, offering eldercare provides a wonderful opportunity to really get to know interesting, kind people whom I otherwise may not have the chance to meet.
