Anna’s Bio

I taught chair yoga, and weights and conditioning at various senior centers on the North Shore and started being asked to help seniors in their homes. I have nine years of experience as a caretaker/companion for private clients. I’m experienced with Alzheimer's/dementia, Parkinson's disease, frail elder, stroke victims and various other limitations and challenges that seniors may have. I shower, dress, medicate, cook, light housekeeping, drive, will do live-in and much more. Also, I have been responsible for hands-on case management for a 98-year-old man. My last position was taking care of a 96 year old woman in Florida. I have had some amazing experiences and met so many wonderful people while caregiving! I have a little dog, Paco that I can or not bring with me--many seniors find him an added bonus. Formerly, I was an Expert Witness in English Language Proficiency with MA courts, teacher of English as a Second Language and, before that, a professional cook for many years. I speak Spanish and am a MA certified (retired) teacher. I have excellent references from families I have worked for and character references from the directors and COA social workers at the places I taught yoga.
