About Dawn

I became a caregiver because I love to work with the elderly and young children. I especially love to help the elders; I loved my grandparents and still have great memories of them. I love to sit and talk with them and to see the joy on their faces. To hear a resident say to me "if you can't make it, I wish to have no one else but YOU with me" really means a lot to me. I went to school for Business and received a Bachelor's, but realized I was never happy in my job. After trying out in 2013 working with an elderly lady, I realized how much happiness there was to be found in helping her. So much so, I went back to school and received a certificate in Nursing Assistant and took the State Exam and passed/ CNA. It gives me great pleasure to work in Home Care where I can serve, love and respect the elderly. Working in health care facilities teaches you care, patience, love and kindness. These are qualities I have possessed and demonstrated since I was a child, but now being able to apply it every day in the work force is great!

    I love providing home care services to those who are unable to do as much as they can without any help.  The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right.  I have always enjoyed helping people. I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients’ lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. I always give 100% and do the best I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. If I can add a smile or bring laughter to a client’s day, that means a lot to me.
