Caregiver Spotlight: Dianna Whittaker

Dianna Whittaker has been a caregiver for eight years, and she enjoys getting to know her clients on a personal level.

“I’ve been around seniors my whole life,” says the Visiting Angels Reseda caregiver. “I started out as a preschool teacher and now I feel like I’m on the other end of the spectrum.”

Dianna has been a caregiver with Visiting Angels Reseda for about three years, and is appreciative of the close-knit environment.

“Seniors are very interesting,” she says. “They talk about their past.”

One of her clients is 101 years old, and Dianna says it’s amazing to learn about what her client has seen and done in her life.

“It’s just amazing to me. You learn a lot about history because they’ve lived it,” she says.

“I really like it. Sometimes I feel like they are family to me, and they get to the point where they consider me family.”

Dianna enjoys helping her clients and learning about them. Her days vary from each client. Some of the activities she helps with include cooking, cleaning up the kitchen, bathing, vacuuming, gardening and more. 

“It varies,” she says.

One client really enjoys going out to lunch, so they try to do that as often as possible.Visiting Angels Reseda is part of a big company, she says, but it feels very personable.

Owner Laura Tunberg may make calls herself, Dianna notes. It’s a very close-knit feel, which helps feel like you are a part of a community. One memory that stands out in Dianna’s mind is the 101st birthday of her oldest client. They celebrated well, she notes.

But other events that stand out include going out to eat with clients and talking with them in a way where she learns more about their personality and history. Dianna really likes that she’s able to meet clients before they start working together. That way, she says, both she and the client can decide if the partnership is a good fit.

“It makes me feel good. They are all very close to my heart and I love every one of them,” she says.
