I cared for my cousin's husband for several months. He has Lewy Body Dementia. I helped with feeding, dressing, exercise, recreation and toileting. He and I became fast friends and have a close bond. I have also worked with children with autism and ADHD. My best friend from High School has Muscular Dystrophy, and my best friend from college has Asperger's.

    Dina is family and during my husband's illness she was his caregiver/companion during the day thereby giving me much needed time away from constant caregiving. She was reliable, responsible, and creative in thinking of ways to engage my husband. She provided excellent care being always vigilant of my husband's safety, hygiene, and comfort. I would unequivocally recommend Dina for a caregiving position.
