About Niurka

I became a caregiver because I loved working with people, and interacting with people from different backgrounds. I like being a caregiver, because I worked in different settings and each client is unique. A personal achievement I am proud of is being a mother, earning an associates degree, and wanting to excel in the healthcare field. I am bilingual, and worked in the healthcare field since 1997, in nursing home, clinic, group home, and private duty. I am also bilingual (Spanish). I have a Certified Nursing Assistant certificate from Triton College and CPR card as of November 2014.

    Hello there, Here is a little bit about myself. My name is Lana and I have been passionate about nursing and taking care of others since I was 7 years old. Growing up, I had a sick mother who has always been under medical care and it is since then I had an opportunity to be in contact with doctors and learn much about the healthcare field. I graduated with a nursing diploma over 20 years ago, and have been taking care of a wide arrange of senior citizens for 11 years in Chicagoland area. My most experience is live-in and live-out senior care of elderly with diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's, etc. I am dependable and flexible provider of physical and emotional care to the elderly. Please review the list of services I provide and do not hesitate to ask questions. I have my own vehicle and a valid IL Driver's license, clean driving record and background check.
