Hi! I'm Vikki and I have the energy, experience, & education to provide multiple services to create a better quality of life for your senior loved one. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work specializing in Mental Health, & I am registered with the State of California as a Home Care Aide, passing all required background checks for your peace of mind. I am engaging & compassionate. I enjoy cooking and can provide nutritional meals per your dietary needs. I provide transportation as needed. If your loved one simply needs a change of scenery, I can provide a car ride along the coast, a picnic in the park or at the beach, a round of laughs playing miniature golf, or a visit to a dog park. I specialize in creative engagement. I have worked with individuals experiencing different degrees of memory loss & I understand & can empathize about how frustrating, confusing, & sad that can be for everyone involved. Let me help you. Contact me & let's discuss your situation. Kindest regards, Vikki

Vikki is a very intelligent, creative, energetic, upbeat woman with a broad skill set. She thinks of everything and has delivered so much more than I expected from a caregiver. One of her best qualities was to find safe, enjoyable things to do together with my mom. My mom is very resistant, so this was an astonishing accomplishment. They shared many good times together. After hiring Vikki, my blood pressure dropped as my worry, frustration and work load dissipated. I will miss her detailed behavior reports, her "I can fix it" attitude, and the smell of freshly baked, mood-elevating chocolate chip cookies wafting around the house. She's also a fantastic cook, and any meal prepared by Vikki is plated beautifully, as if being served in a fine dining establishment. And no, I am not making this stuff up!!
