A neighbor, a mother and a caregiver - by experience and by heart.
My Story
I'm Daisy Weissberg, and Cedar City has been my home for 28 years. I'm a mother of two, and like a lot of families, I learned about caregiving the hard way — by doing it for my own.
When my grandmother needed help, I was there. When my father's later years came, I cared for him too. I learned how the small things — a hot meal, fresh laundry, someone to talk to, a ride to the pharmacy — make a person feel like themselves again. I learned that the most important part of caregiving is showing up, every time, without making the person feel like a burden.
Now I want to do that work for other families. Not as a big agency rotating strangers through someone's living room, but as one trusted person who learns your loved one's routines, knows their favorite tea, and remembers the names of their grandchildren.
If that sounds like the kind of help your family is looking for, I'd love to meet you.
What I bring to work
Patience and empathy — earned, not advertised.
Reliability and punctuality — when I say I'll be there at 9, I'm there at 9.
Meal preparation — I can cook a real, comforting home meal, not just heat something up.
Basic housekeeping — laundry, dishes, tidying. Not a deep clean, but enough to keep the home calm.
Local knowledge — 28 years in Cedar City means I know the doctors, the pharmacies, and the back routes that avoid the worst traffic.
A flexible schedule — mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends. I work around your loved one's life, not the other way around.
A clean background and a bondable record — I'm insured, bonded, and happy to provide references on request.
Being honest about what I'm not
I'm a non-medical companion caregiver. I want to be straightforward about what that means, because choosing the right kind of care matters:
I am not a nurse. I do not give injections, change medical dressings, manage IV lines, or perform any procedure that requires medical training.
I do not give medication. I can remind your loved one to take their medication on schedule, but I do not measure doses, fill pill organizers, or administer pills directly. Their doctor or family handles that.
I am not a substitute for emergency care. If your loved one has a serious medical event during a visit, I will call 911, then call you. I follow emergencies, I don't manage them.
I do not provide hands-on personal care like bathing or toileting. Some clients need that — and they need a Certified Nursing Assistant or Home Health Aide, not me.
If your loved one's needs are mostly social, practical, and around the house — meals, errands, conversation, light housekeeping — I'm your person. If they need more, I'll help you find someone who's the right fit.
