Meet Jana
Welcome to my world, where compassion and determination are the guiding stars. I'm a single mom of two incredible kids, a devoted dog mom to Luna, and a tenacious advocate for caregivers and those navigating complex medical journeys.
​
My journey into the world of caregiving wasn't a path I initially chose; it was a path I felt compelled to follow. For over a decade, I dedicated my career to nonprofit fundraising, where I honed my skills in organization, negotiation, and coalition building. I raised millions, but life had other plans.
​
When my child with special needs and complex medical care required round-the-clock attention, I faced a dilemma. Balancing work and caregiving became untenable. With a deep desire to provide the best care for my child, I left my executive role and ventured into the challenging world of caregiving.
​
The transition was hard, as I felt like I had lost my independence and value. Going from executive to caregiver felt like an unexpected detour. However, I soon realized that this work was invaluable, and my personal worth wasn't tied to my profession. It was a transformative realization.
​
I'm often asked how I manage it all. The secret lies in recognizing that I can't do it all alone. I'm tenacious, resilient, and adaptive, but I also know when to ask for help and rally
support. I prioritize what truly matters, and I don't fret over the rest. It's a philosophy that's kept me going through the toughest of times.
Outside of caregiving, I find solace and balance in my passions. Cooking is my therapy; I pore over multiple recipes before attempting something new. Luna, my faithful companion, brings me pure joy through her cuddles. She's not my child's emotional support dog; she's mine. It all boils down to this: if I go down, we all go down. Self-care is non-negotiable.
​
My journey has inspired me to create Kurantio, a name derived from the Latin word for "caring." Caregiving is universal, and we all provide care in some form. With Kurantio, I aim to be the compass you need to navigate your caregiving journey. Getting a diagnosis doesn't come with a manual, but I can provide you with the compass, maps, and guides to help you navigate the process.
Caregiving is an act of love, strength, and resilience. It's not just my story; it's a story shared by countless others. My mission is simple: to ensure that you never feel alone on your caregiving journey, to empower you with knowledge, and to help you find strength in care.
​
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we can make the path a little brighter, one step at a time.
