About Leona

Hi! I'm a Native Hawaiian, born and raised in Hawaii and I moved with my family to Washington State 37 years ago. I have 5 adult children, 14 grandchildren, and a new great-grandson. I have tried many things including volunteer firefighting and EMT work, I'm an artist and love to cook and bake. My career has en impasses many years of working with kids of special needs from pre-school to adults including the medically fragile. I do some volunteer work at a Conservation District garden and I lead and teach in my church. I draw and paint, quilt and do pottery and I love to play the guitar and sing. I'm trying to be healthy with diet and exercise as an example to my family and for my own good. I built a barn home on 2 and a half acres a few years ago and, I garden. It's a pretty awesome life.

I was a caregiver for 6 months after I separated from the navy. I worked with 3 very kind ladies in a house. One of the things that enjoyed the most was really feeling like I was continually improving the quality of their lives. There so much that needed to be done that the 12-hour shift just flew by. I take the time to learn clients' personalities and reciprocate what I believe they are looking for. I'm very big on clarification and communication. One of my clients had early onset dementia that was very advanced, one little to no speech, and one was completely wheelchair bound. Despite this these ladies were a pleasure to work with and I effortlessly treated them with the utmost respect & empathy. It was a pleasure to work with these ladies and I diffidently appreciated how excited they would get when I walked through the door. Looking to get back into a career path that allows me to be fulfilled as well as isn't continuous high stress.
