Chloe T. Care Companion in Yuba City, CA 95993

Hello, my name is Chloe Tokuno.

While I do not have a long list of paid caregiving jobs to show on my resume, I have real life experiences to base my knowledge and the decisions I make while caring for children and elders.

I grew up in a busy family with 5 kids, I am the second oldest and helped mom care for the youngest 3 children. I was 17 when little brother was born and would take “shifts” with my mom: waking in the middle of the night to feed little brother or change his diaper as she slept while I continued my high school education and remained focused on ballet.

Throughout high school, I was the sitter for many of my parents’ friends: for an evening out to 3 weeks of 24 hour care for 3 children.

My grandmother is 96 years old and has been hospitalized for various medical reasons. During those times, I was her primary care giver; driving her to appointments, distributing medication as ordered, cooking and housework, laundry etc. We spent much time talking and philosophizing life and the world.

I am a certified ECG monitor, can perform CPR. Most importantly, I do not panic in emergency situations.

Last year, I cared for an elderly woman, who had advanced dementia, several cardiothoracic deficiencies and she needed round the clock care. She was on regimented medication and breathing treatments.

I am a 1099 contractor and own a reliable vehicle, a 2010 Honda Crosstour.

I am extremely patient, nurturing and have an even keeled temper.

I enjoy being in the sunshine camping, hiking or swimming. I love a good book or a funny feel good kind of film.

I’m a yogi and a creative kind of girl. In my spare time, I photograph life, write or read. I start my day with a shavasana (meditation) session. I believe every day is a gift and I try to be a better human daily.

My best running buddy is my main main man, Hamilton, who is my 3 year old boxer mix.

With the combined experience of caring for children and seniors, all aspect of care and management, I believe that I am a strong candidate.
