This is a criminal background check required for all caregiver before they can message families.
I have direct experience supporting elderly people and individuals with Alzheimer's and a strong commitment to compassionate, person-centered care. For three years, I worked as a companion and artist assistant to an artist living with advanced Alzheimer's. I helped him continue his creative work, prepared meals, provided daily care, and accompanied him to medical appointments. This experience strengthened my passion for supporting older adults with dignity and patience. I also bring 20+ years of safe driving experience, own a reliable vehicle, and am comfortable providing transportation when needed. My background in the arts has helped me develop strong communication, organization, and caregiving-adjacent skills.
Daria worked for me as a caregiver for my late husband, an elderly artist with dementia. She helped him continue making his art, but she also made him lunch, and helped him get around in the house and outside. She had a good humor making her able to coax him gently for a few years before he had to go into a nursing home. As an artist, Daria understood the need for a caregiver to be creative and encourage creativity in the people she worked with. I recommend her without any reservations.
