About Anna

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I was asked to help seniors in their home when I taught yoga and exercise at various senior centers and rehabs and loved doing it, so I stayed with it! I have experience with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's/dementia, frail elder, stroke victims and various other limitations and challenges that seniors may have. I shower, dress, medicate, cook, light housekeeping, drive, will do live-in and much more. Also, I have been responsible for hands-on case management for a 98-year-old man. I have had some amazing experiences and met so many wonderful and interesting people while caregiving! Formerly, I taught English as a Second Language and, before that, a professional cook for many years. I speak some Spanish and am a MA certified (retired) teacher.

Anna was a caregiver for my sister. My sister was schizophrenic and bi-polar. She made nutritious meals for her, did light housekeeping, and drove her on outings and to Dr Appts. She made outings fun and active however she was intuitive and understood sometimes my sister needed a quiet-calmer outing. She provided what was needed at the time. Anna thinks on her feet and was flexible with the job schedule. Anna continued to help me out after my sister passed. She helped us organize everything to donate and sell and close up my sister's house. She was invaluable in helping us relocate during the Thomas fires and she still helps out when we need her. She is great with pets too. We have a dog that is a special needs animal. Anna is very capable in caring for him and all his special needs.
