About Dawn

Formerly, an adjunct instructor, I decided to become a caregiver because I enjoy the rewards of helping people live a quality life. I'm a licensed CNA and Home Health aid, educated, and well-traveled. I'm more than capable of conversant companionship, errands, medical appointments, assisting you with activities of daily living, and light housework. I have worked with men and women as well as special needs. Currently, I'm booked during the day. However, I am looking for a client who wants someone to sleep over on Sunday through Thursday nights.

I am a great caregiver because I will treat each person I care for with dignity, respect and kindness. I am responsible and dedicated to this line of work. I will help with maintaining a clean and comfortable as well as safe environment. I try to improve quality of life through adaptive progressive strategies. what attracted me to become a caregiver was helping to care for my grandmother and my mother, it made me feel good to be able to help them. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is bringing a smile on my clients face. A personal achievement I have is seeing a client get better after I care for them.
