I have extensive experience taking care of seniors. I have seen my mother through a hip surgery, two shoulder replacements and her heroic journey through cancer. I also have worked with seniors throughout my career. I have been an EMT in the San Francisco Bay Area where I made many friends caring for the V. A. seniors. I enjoy sharing stories and assisting in the everyday needs of those have trouble with daily hurdles.

Dana helped me out last week. Great source of knowledge and reliable.

We interviewed Dana to provide care for my dad. We would love to work with her, but she's so in demand, she's already booked up. I really like her friendly, personable, style and I'm sure she's a great and competent caregiver. Hopefully we'll get to work with her in the future.

Dana worked with my 93 year old mom whom had moderate Alzheimer's for the last 7 months. She was extremely helpful in keeping my mother engaged and active. She was punctual and reliable to maintain a heavy schedule. She assisted in meal preparation and planning, doctor appointments, dressing, and tucking into bed. My mother was always happy to see her and loved going out to do things with her whether it was just the grocery shopping or a drive and walk. Dana always brought her A game!

Dana was an amazing help for our family as we were dealing with quite a crisis.  She was protective and nurturing with our grandma and she gave us so much information in how to help her better.  

Dana shows and gives her heart right away and gives 100% of  herself into her work.

Dana was one of the care givers for my Mom and was with us to the end. 
She was hard working, always ready to jump in and handle any task and makes an incredible Turkey burger! Meals, chores anything you need Dana is up for the challenge.
She was reliable, responsible caring and attentive to all my Mothers needs!
We would hire Dana again!!


Very courteous and sociable.  Friendly and genuine.


Dana has been helping me with my wife for about a month.  She has a great background and brings a lot of energy to every session. She is not there to watch TV and just be around. She actively engages my wife in conversation, in games, in housework and other activities that are stimulating for her.  
She's been helpful with errands outside the on-duty time and has cooked some great food while she's been in our home.

My family hired Dana in August 2017.  She was the first care giver to provide care for our mother, as she had never needed care before this time. Dana showed up as a dependable, knowledgeable care provider.  Moreover, Dana turned out to be a very caring person.  She showed a level of love and affection for my mother that was remarkable and endearing.  Dana's duties included meal prep and hygiene duties along with monitoring her care and companionship.  She produced nutritious meals, detailed physical attention and loving companionship that included physical therapy.   As my mother's condition continued to worsen, she remained solid in providing help and support to not only my mother, but the entire family.  Dana would still be working for us had my mother not eventually passed away.  I would recommend Dana for hire for any elderly person in need of support and care.  

Dana is an excellent care-giver and willing to go over and above the call of duty.  She is punctual, professional, helpful and very positive and motivated.  We as a family highly recommend her and give her a 5 Star reference.

For about 7 months, Dana cared for my Mom, who had a number of health issues.  Dana was wonderful and treated Mom like her own.  I could trust fully that while she was in our home that my Mom was in great hands.  If you have specific questions you'd like to ask, please feel free to contact me.
