About Dana

I enjoy working with people and mostly enjoy jobs where you have one-on-one interaction with others. I love doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. Making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better is a big accomplishment. I've been working as a caregiver as young as nine years old with administering medication, meal prep & giving insulin to my papa because my mother was so busy with work. My grandfather had Alzheimer's, diabetes & high blood pressure so I became familiar with his behavioral & mental state. After I became 17 I began working for families as a PCA to help build & change lives for our elderly community.

Hello! I Love being a caregiver. I am a certified PCA, I have training in HHA and in HCA and have 9 years experience. I am also CPR and AED certified. I have extensive experience in memory care as in Alzheimer, Dementia and stroke and much more. I provide assistance with daily living which includes reminders, personal grooming, physical therapy, meals, medication bathing feeding/tub feeding. I also try to provide a life of fulfillment which gives each individual an opportunity to have some companionship. I strive to maximum the quality of life to each individual in need of assistance by providing personalize high premier quality care that promotes a safe, healthy and caring environment. My motto is I cannot control the quantity of life but I can control the quality of life so my goal is to serve everyone with the premier care to give each individual the feeling of belonging. As being a caregiver each individual that I have the pleasure of serving knows that their respect and dignity is at the forefront of me serving them. Serving others in need is what attracted me to being a caregiver. It gives me a genuine sense of joy knowing that I'm able and willing to being that helping hand. Everyone is not built to be a caregiver and there are caregivers that are not there for the right reasons. I love seeing the look of gratitude on families faces when they see and know that their love ones are being taken great care of and it's done with Love!! Working on getting my Residential Assistant Living Facility license.
