Please join Hired Hands Homecare in congratulating Ana as our next Caregiver of the Month!

We have only been working with Ana for about six months now, but it has been an absolute pleasure right from the start!   We recently had the pleasure of surprising Ana on shift while working with our client Diane, who was really pleased to join in on congratulating her.  Diane stated “Ana deserves every bit of recognition. She is the greatest!”.   All the Clients that she has worked with would certainly agree… Ana is really dependable and always willing to help with a big, warm smile on her face!  She is an amazing caregiver and always approaches situations in a proactive and positive manner, which we very much appreciate!

Ana, what do you have to say for yourself?  “Danielle, it was good to see you and that … Read More »

Mikayla is a highly skilled Caregiver and is on both of our specialized Dementia and Hospice teams. She has a history of knocking it out of the park everywhere she goes, and is one of our absolute most requested caregivers by our clients.  Mikayla is joyful, attentive, and is always willing to help whenever she can.

Please join us in congratulating, Irenena, as our next Caregiver of the Month!

Hired Hands Homecare has had the absolute pleasure of working with Irenena since 2016.  During the past EIGHT years, she has shared her amazing care and compassion with many different families in both Sonoma and Napa counties.   A few weeks ago, we were able to surprise Irenena on shift to honor her with this reward. Irenena was very surprised and her client, Nonie, was excited to join in on the celebration. Irenena is an amazing caregiver with an extremely warm heart.  The Hired Hands team is so grateful for Irenena’s hard work, compassionate demeanor, dedication, and strong communication skills.   On top of that, she always gives the office the best reports and shift notes!  A true team player!

Flo is such a Caregiver PRO!

The Hired Hands Team is excited to celebrate Florence as our next Caregiver of the Month!

We have had the distinct pleasure working with Florence for almost two and a half years now, and are consistently impressed by her skills and abilities to perfectly handle sometimes difficult situations.  She has had amazing success with her current Client, who had a history of behavioral issues due to cognitive impairment.  In a short time, and with much dedication and heartfelt work, Florence was able to completely turn the situation around.   With her calm demeanor and keen attention to detail, life has become much more manageable for the Client, who has been not only able to remain safe and comfortable at home, but also to frequently visit her beloved ranch estate.

Our team had fun presenting Florence with this award while she was on shift.  … Read More »



We say YAY for Jose’!

Over Napa way, we are completely honored to celebrate Jose’ as our next Caregiver of the Month!

We actually had the pleasure of working with Jose’ for a couple of years, several years ago. Life takes us down different paths, and we were VERY happy when he was ready to REJOIN the Hired Hands Team this year!

When you have a caregiver that is so  professional, knowledgeable, a great communicator and someone who truly cares about the clients he cares for… you feel incredibly blessed to have them on your team! Sometimes when you are working with dementia clients, you need a lot of patience and need to stay on your toes to keep up with them and Jose is definitely a rock star! He is always a few steps ahead and ready to go.

Jose’s current client recently noted “Jose’ is such … Read More »

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kaylene and watching her grow into the professional Caregiver she is today. Kaylene is always willing to help and eager to learn.
