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 compassionate and empathetic. I genuinely care for my fellow man. I am a good listener who pays attention to detail and I'm self-sufficient. I've completed training in the following courses through The Public Authority of Santa Clara County, Last phase of life, mental health, nutrition, personal care, pre-paramedical, Alzheimer's & Dementia Basics, first aid, diabetes, and CPR, to name a few. Being the oldest, and only girl of 4, I Inherited the role of caregiver at a very young age. I started as a babysitter and later in life gravitated towards adult care. I have remained a caregiver because I enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world and hearing their lives experiences, their knowledge, and the wisdom they often share. For me, there's no greater satisfaction than going home at the end of my workday knowing that my presence made a difference in someone else's day and that I am appreciated.
