Santa Barbara City College

I became a caregivers 20 years ago, when I was asked to help out with an elderly couple. I found it was my calling, ( I would like to run a small 4 to 6 bed facility of my own .) to be my best, I attended courses provided by Santa Barbara & San Diego city colleges , informative Q & A conferences with doctors, nurses, specialist speakers, usually held at the Masonic Lodge in San Diego, I've payed to go to several of these. I'm a good cook, I like to cook , and have been known to do small dinner parties at clients home , just to gather the family around, it always turns out to be a recurring event. Which makes those I care for extremely happy. I'm good at what I do, because I'm happy doing it. I can learn to do almost anything, I do insulin shots , aware of special diets, puree , feeding tubes. I curl, cut hair file, paint nails, no toe nails but I will drive a client to the podiatrist or beauty parlor, I'll drive to doctors or take them to friend , family's home . All pets seem to love me, I love all animals, pets, be it fish birds, turtles, lizards, cats or dogs. I'm great at healing wounds, prevention. Wonderful showers, grooming, I'm sure I'm leaving something out, so call Laura Banks at 858-695-4567 or 858-243-8288

I've worked primarily with children for the last 20 years. I became a caregiver because I really care about people's wellbeing. I'm proud of my dedication to others. I really love what I do and contribute to society. I am a former teacher with several degrees & a licensed foster parent.

Becoming a caregiver evolved from a friendship born of a senior's transportation needs -- she was a passenger in my taxi at first, and by the time she died (about two years after we met) she told everyone I was her "adopted daughter". I think of the mutual respect I established with the passengers I served (several of whom wouldn't ride with anyone else) as a personal achievement; I'm confident that I can be a blessing in other folks lives now, as well. As for 'a little about [me] -- I hate having my photo taken, so I don't have many to choose from for a profile shot. I'm a square dancer, partial to country music, and my other hobbies are knitting & reading.

I am patient,caring and love being with people. I am a pretty good cook and enjoy making healthy, delicious meals.I am happy to do whatever is needed of me. Both my parents are 91 years and are doing well,with my father experiencing a little dementia. I wanted to learn what and how to care for the elderly. I am certified and bonded. Raising my children to be happy , capable adults.

I became a caregiver because it fills my heart with joy to see someone happy with how I am helping them. The feeling I get and knowledge I receive from the people I take care of. I am proud of all the knowledge they have given me. It has made me wiser, so I can show this to my children. I always want to show my caring heart to all the people I help.

I love to help people and never saw myself doing anything else

In pursuing my true passion of working with food and people, I have graduated the Culinary Arts & Hospitality Program with Honors from SBCC and shortly after having graduated, my Uncle was diagnosed with Alzheimers. I moved down to Ventura, CA to assist my Mom with caring for him for the last four years and developed a love for caring for those who need assistance in caring for themselves. Patience, understanding and compassion are the most important when caring for our loved ones and our patients. I enjoy working and developing recipes that cater to special dietary needs, as I realize that if meals do not taste good and look good, you won't enjoy it and that is tremendously important when having to be on special diets. I also try to use fresh, organic and local products whenever possible, as those are the best when caring for our bodies and to help us meet our goals. I have many certifications that I can provide you copies of that are from the Culinary Industry, including my Culinary Certification, ServSafe Food Handling Certification, Sustainable Seafood and Hotel & Hospitality Certifications that I am not able to provide through the site, but happy to provide upon request.
