About Diane

I am a very compassionate and caring person. I enjoy listening and interacting with people. Hearing stories of people's history really is one of my favorite part of being a caregiver. I started helping to care for my two adult nieces in 2015. They were fully disabled. It was very rewarding and their laughter and loving personalities made my days complete. From there I incorporated caring for disabled seniors and found their companionship enriched my life every day as I cared for them. Prior to being a Home Health Aide, I worked for eye surgeons for twenty years. It was a very fast paced practice and I enjoyed the challenge. However, my favorite part of the job was interacting with patients and with electronic charts and other changes, the personal contact with patients was rushed and I felt they needed more compassion and reassurance in most situations. I am so happy I've made this change of careers in my life. I feel like I'm just going to visit a friend every day and enjoy the history and wisdom they share with me.
