I'm a positive, patient, reliable, and creative person. I took care of my father-in-law with dementia for 9 years until he passed away at 101 years old. My work included encouraging emotional wellness, reading to him, helping with physical therapy exercises, and bathing. I assisted with daily living activities, including dressing, grooming, toileting, transferring and transportation to and from activities, especially doctor appointments, preparing healthy meals, administration of medications, financial management, monitoring his safety, and managing his house, grounds, and repairs. I can provide a pleasant and stable environment for your loved one. Regarding pets, I am allergic to cats. I have a Master of Fine Arts degree.

Diandra took care of my father from 2014 till his death in 2023. Dad's needs for assistance were moderate in the beginning, but became comprehensive, especially in the last four years when his dementia became serious, and he lost control of body functions. Diandra administered his medications, scheduled his medical appointments, drove him to appointments and other necessary places, prepared his meals, handled his laundry, home maintenance, and yard maintenance, In truth, Diandra handled every responsibility we threw at her, many of them beyond what would normally be expected from hired help. Diandra has a calm and cooperative presence, and is a pleasure to be around. Dad loved Diandra dearly, and greatly enjoyed her care and companionship. Her communication skills are excellent. I give her my highest recommendation.
