About Dawn

In an uncertain world, helping others is such a gratifying way to make a positive difference--it means the world to me to be able to make someone who has lived a long, rich life more comfortable and safe, to nurture and support them. My experience, over the last eight years or so, includes supporting occupational, physical, and speech therapy; assisting with walking and other daily tasks; coordinating care among several staff; and preparing and organizing meals while accounting for a range of sensitivities and tastes (I truly love to cook). I'm a very fast learner, flexible, prompt, tidy and conscientious. I am currently working toward earning my CNA license, and expect to have it by the end of 2020.
