About Arcadia

I love caring for people. That's why I prefer in home assignments, it gives me the opportunity to work personally with one client and build a relationship. Giving all my attention is best, as I can provide the greatest level of care that way. As a young girl I saw how short people were with my grandmother who had dementia. It was disturbing. I want to add joy to those with disabilities. Now with nearly 8 years experience in healthcare, I look forward to learning and my goal is to enhance the quality of life for those I work with. I enjoy meeting people and listening to their stories. Caregiving brings a great joy and pride to my heart. Knowing I help make someone's day is the most rewarding part! I contribute love and compassion to the aging process.

I am a caregiver with more than 18 years of experience with seniors and people with special needs. I provide safe, respectful, loving, skilled care towards every one of my patients. I will deliver peace of mind to family members by keeping their loved ones safe while also protecting their independence and preserving their dignity. I give detailed information and pay close attention to my clients and to the families' needs. I have taken care of many people from family members, friends, and clients in facilities to group home members and privately cared for patients. Whatever the needs may be, I strive to go above and beyond my call of duty. Life is a treasure and if I can provide life or encouragement to anyone, or let them know that they are still loved and living with grace and dignity, I am that Angel. Many people lose their independence and feel lost. I can give clients, as well as their families, peace of mind knowing that things will work out fine.
