I try to stay positive & upbeat with my patients; it is hard being an isolated senior in our busy society., especially during Covid lockdown.

I received college credit for implementing & facilitating art at several day programs in Santa Barbara county. I moved down to San Diego to be closer to my son's in the Irvine & Buena Park area.

When I was applying for different kind of jobs (manufacturing, warehouse) where I had more than 15 years experience, I was offer a position as caregiver of a lovely 90 years old lady, we got along since the first moment and became her part time cg. I found out that I have that special touch so much needed when working with elderly. I treat them with respect. I know it must not be easy losing your independence and if at home, seeing "strangers" coming into your house and practically take control over your stuf. That's why I like asking them (when posible) how they like things being done in their house.

Hello, My name is Dana and I love being a caregiver because I enjoy making others happy.Even if it is something as simple as a favorite meal or activity, program etc. Since everyone is unique, listening and patiently learning to adapt to meet the needs of each individual has been the most helpful for me. Learning about their preferences and interests gives me ideas for activities they may enjoy doing during our time together. I have been caring for others for 10 plus years and have great empathy, insight and intuition. I respect the privacy and family of every person I care for. I love cooking and nutrition and can prepare many different types of food if desired. As a caregiver,I commit to the person and they become an important priority in my life and I look forward to my time with them. Thank you so much and best wishes to you and your loved one.
