Find the Perfect Live-In Caregiver

Giselle brings both clinical depth and personal warmth to every care setting. A certified nursing assistant and medical assistant, she has worked across hospitals, clinics, and private homes — from supporting neurosurgeons at UCSD Health to providing hands-on daily care for a long-term private client who relied on her for everything from bathing and dressing to transportation and medication management. That range of experience gives her a steady confidence with complex needs, whether she’s assisting someone in a wheelchair, managing post-surgical recovery, or simply making sure the morning routine feels unhurried and dignified. Giselle is bilingual in English and Spanish and holds additional certifications in BLS and phlebotomy. Outside of work, she recharges with morning hikes and beach walks, and she has a creative side — she likes to draw and paint. What draws her to caregiving is something simple: she finds meaning in the small things, like building trust over time and helping someone hold onto their independence for as long as possible. Families who work with Giselle will find someone patient, positive, and genuinely invested in the person she’s caring for.

Miriam brings fifteen years of caregiving experience and a perspective shaped by every side of the industry. She started as a CNA at a skilled nursing facility in Encinitas, managing a demanding caseload on the night shift, before moving into private home care through Amada Senior Care. There, her work stood out enough that she was promoted to Client Care Manager, where she hired and trained caregivers, managed compliance with the state registry, and served as the right hand to the company’s owner. That combination of hands-on clinical work and operational leadership gives her an unusually well-rounded understanding of what quality care looks like — and what families should expect. Now returning to direct caregiving after raising her family, Miriam is bilingual in English and Spanish and comfortable across a wide range of care needs, from dementia and hospice support to live-in companionship. She has experience with Hoyer lifts, transfers, medication management, and all standard ADLs. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, cooking, and spending time at the beach, and she has a genuine curiosity about science and the human body that continues to inform her approach to care. Families who work with Miriam will find someone who combines deep professional experience with a warm, steady presence.

Sophie started caring for others before she ever had a certification, finding families on her own who needed help and building relationships from the ground up. That early instinct led her to earn her CNA, and she went straight into skilled nursing at Aviara Healthcare Center in Encinitas, where she cared for patients across both long-term and short-term units, including those on hospice, feeding tubes, and with complex mobility needs. From there she moved to White Sands La Jolla, where she worked in assisted living and a dedicated dementia care unit before being promoted to Medication Technician. Now pursuing her BSN at National University with a 3.9 GPA, Sophie continues to build on a foundation she started laying years ago. What comes through in Sophie’s approach is a quiet steadiness. She has worked with patients across the full spectrum of care needs, from independent assisted living residents to individuals requiring advanced skilled nursing, and she adapts naturally to each setting. She speaks both English and Spanish, which allows her to connect with a wider range of clients and families. Outside of work and school, Sophie stays active with Pilates and outdoor walks, and enjoys cooking and exploring new restaurants around San Diego.

Suzette brings a unique blend of leadership and hands-on caregiving experience to her work. Prior to COVID, she spent 10 years as an Operations Manager, developing strong organizational and problem-solving skills. She transitioned into healthcare and now works in a hospital setting, including in the psychiatric unit, where she has gained extensive experience supporting individuals with cognitive disorders. She is highly skilled in redirection techniques and is particularly effective in working with clients who may exhibit aggressive behaviors. Suzette also has live-in caregiving experience and is comfortable assisting with personal care as well as day-to-day activities like gardening. Outside of work, Suzette enjoys staying active through workouts and hiking. She is deeply involved in her church community, where she contributes to a homeless outreach program, reflecting her genuine passion for helping others.

Jacqueline came to caregiving through an unexpected path. She studied pharmacy in the Philippines, and when she moved to the United States in 2021, she saw private caregiving as a natural extension of that clinical foundation — a way to apply what she knew about health and the body in a setting where she could truly know the person she was caring for. That instinct proved right. She has since built a career working closely with older adults navigating complex conditions, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and cancer treatment, bringing a quiet attentiveness to medication management, dietary needs, and the small shifts in condition that matter most. Jacqueline is currently pursuing her vocational nursing license, which reflects the same impulse that drew her to caregiving in the first place — a desire to deepen her understanding so she can offer more. She is a CNA, bilingual in English and Tagalog, and deeply committed to one-on-one care where she can give her full attention to a single client. Her clients would tell you she makes magic in the kitchen — she takes real pride in preparing meals that meet both dietary needs and personal tastes. She is the kind of caregiver who notices what others miss, and who finds real meaning in the steady, personal work of helping someone live well at home.
