About Dakota

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Dakota, and I am 27 years old and located in the McHenry County area. I currently hold a CPR certification and have more than 10 years of caregiving experience. During my senior year of high school, I earned my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license. Shortly afterward, I transitioned from working as a CNA to a Direct Support Professional (DSP) position with Pioneer Center for Human Services in McHenry, Illinois, where I worked for six years. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience providing care and support to individuals. In early 2026, I also obtained my Paraprofessional Certification, further expanding my experience working with children and individuals who require specialized support. Please note that when I return to school this fall, I will have limited availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thank you for considering me. I would be honored to assist with your caregiving needs and look forward to the opportunity to help. Sincerely, Dakota
