Visiting Angels, the nation’s leading provider of in-home senior care, announces Esmeralda Miramontes as one of the 10 semi-finalists for its prestigious National Caregiver of the Year award.  

Over the last seven years with Visiting Angels North County San Diego, CA, Esmeralda has built unique bonds with her clients. Esmeralda is the kind of caregiver who brings not only skill but also joy into every home she enters. She adapts to whatever is needed of her. 

“Esmeralda works with grace and patience with her clients,” said Jaime Dill, owner of Visiting Angels North County San Diego, CA. “She is always there for us when we need her, and her positivity creates a chain reaction with other caregivers that follow in her footsteps.”

“She brought her joy, hope, hard work, laughter, and competence into our family during an extremely challenging time,” said Charlene W., daughter of clients. “Her joy and hope quickly turned our family around. She was the family rock, all the while making Dad seem like he was still the rock.”

The Visiting Angels National Caregiver of the Year Award celebrates the extraordinary contributions of caregivers who provide exceptional care to senior clients and their families. The 10 semi-finalists were selected from nominations nationwide, honoring caregivers who embody Visiting Angels’ caring values, demonstrate professionalism in their work, and show a commitment to improving the lives of seniors and their families. 

“Esmeralda is a dedicated caregiver with a true heart of gold,” said Larry Meigs, CEO of Visiting Angels. “She brings comfort in times of crisis, inspires those around her, and provides care that goes far beyond expectations. Her compassion and strength represent the very best of who we are at Visiting Angels, and she’s very deserving of this honor.”

The winner of the 2025 Caregiver of the Year award will be announced at the Visiting Angels annual conference in June. The grand prize recipient will receive $10,000, and two finalists will each receive $5,000.
