About Akala

Experience: 1 yr

Hi! My name is Akala, and I specialize in providing kind, respectful, and engaging companionship for older adults who value their independence. I love conversation and believe older people have the most fascinating experiences and wisdom to share. Whether we're cooking together, talking about history or art, or just taking a quiet moment with tea, I always enjoy spending time with my elders. I'm also patient, dependable, and a great listener, qualities I've developed through my work with older adults at Silver Screens, where I provide gentle, empowering tech support. I'm especially well-suited to care for elders who may be hesitant about receiving help. I always make sure they feel heard, respected, and in control. I'm CPR and first aid certified, and I'm trained in food safety. I can help with light housekeeping, grocery runs, pet care (including dog walking), and small home repairs. I also love to cook, and I'm happy preparing all kinds of food. I hope to meet your family soon!
