About Diane

Experience: 4 yrs

I cared for my mother for three years in my home after she had an accident and could no longer live independently. I am familiar with the difficulties that face seniors and the genuine heartache that comes with the loss of independence, through no fault of their own. I know that the isolation that sometimes occurs when you can no longer drive, or are unable to ambulate like you used to, can be devastating. Since my mother passed away last year, I've been assisting family friends, with driving to appointments, gardening, painting, light housekeeping and just plain old conversation and companionship. I enjoy this and feel like I am filling a need, while helping them to maintain some independence. Changes are inevitable, but they can be positive, and if you are in the company of someone who genuinely cares and listens with an empathetic ear, it can make the transition a little less stressful. My mother taught me to treat everyone as you would want to be treated, and I like to think I treat everyone the way I would have wanted my mother to be treated.

Diane was my mother's caretaker for nine years; she was absolutely amazing in every way. She is incredibly trustworthy and committed. She never missed a day and truly prioritized my mother's care at all times. Diane is innately kind and patient which make her an excellent caretaker, whether for a child or elderly person. I wholeheartedly trust and recommend her as a caretaker.
