About Niagara

Hello! Im Nya. I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. I started out caregiving for my son who has autism. Taking care of him taught me patience and compassion. I learned to enter his world. After my son grew older he wasn't needing my caregiving as much. Soon my father passed away from cancer at the age of 62. Shortly after I became a CNA and specialized in dementia. Currently I work as CNA in skilled nursing. Caregiving is a calling. I enjoy my patients and enjoy what I do.

Hi! My name is Stephanie! I am currently a Urgent Care/ER technician and work 3-4 days a week, 12 hour shits. I am interested in caregiving on some of my days off as I used to take care of a sweet older couple who lived down the road from me. They have recently passed on but it brought out my passion for caregiving and helping people when I can! I am also a CNA but I did a lot of that in my 20's and am now interested in the lighter side of those duties, light lifting, daily living activities, helping around the house, and offering company!! I love getting to know people, I am kind and compassionate. I can do overnight on occasion and prn.
