Meet Our Comfort Keepers® Senior Caregivers
Our team of senior caregivers is uniquely qualified and ready to help in Burbank and Glendale, CA.
Every member of our team is professional and well-trained. We conduct a thorough screening and interviewing process to identify the best senior caregivers, and only those who pass this process go on to complete training to deliver our special brand of home care and become Comfort Keepers®, senior caregivers. What truly sets our people apart, though, is their natural gift for caring for others.
All Comfort Keepers senior caregivers pass extensive background checks and complete continuing education. They are bonded, insured, and covered by workers' compensation insurance to protect our clients and their families.
Cindy Zaragoza
Franchise Owner
With over seven years of experience in the home care industry, I’ve had the privilege of supporting seniors and their families during some of the most important times of their lives. My journey began with a passion for people—and that connection continues to drive me every day. I find deep joy in getting to know our clients, understanding their needs, and helping them remain safe, comfortable, and independent in the place they love most: their home.
As a Comfort Keepers franchise owner, I’ve found the work to be incredibly rewarding and heart-fulfilling. It’s an honor to serve my community through compassionate, personalized care—and to lead a team that truly believes in our mission of Elevating the Human Spirit℠.
The senior community holds a special place in my heart. Whether I’m meeting with families to find the right care plan or supporting our caregivers behind the scenes, I’m reminded every day why this work matters. Comfort Keepers allows me to live out my values—building trust, creating joy, and making a difference.
To Cindy, "Elevating the Human Spirit" means bringing someone joy and purpose in their life even if it just for a few hours.
Araceli Smith
Franchise Owner
With over 10 years of experience caring for seniors, Araceli Smith’s passion for helping others is rooted in both professional experience and a deeply personal journey. After losing her father to Alzheimer’s disease in 2014, she gained a profound understanding of the challenges families face when caring for a loved one. This experience strengthened her commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality home care that brings comfort, dignity, and peace of mind to families.
With a background in holistic health and nutrition training, Araceli draws on her knowledge and experience to help identify individual needs and potential areas of concern. She works closely with clients and their families to better understand their goals, preferences, and challenges, creating customized care plans that provide personalized home care support, promote overall well-being, and help each client feel safe, comfortable, and valued.
Today, Araceli is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of her clients by creating an environment where every individual feels safe, valued, respected, and cared for. She believes compassionate care goes beyond meeting daily needs. It’s about building meaningful relationships, bringing joy to everyday moments, and supporting the families who entrust them with their loved ones.
At the heart of her work is the Comfort Keepers mission of Elevating the Human Spirit — bringing joy to clients, comfort to families, and peace of mind through compassionate, personalized care.
“Nothing brings me greater joy than knowing that we are making a difference in the lives of others. Bringing comfort to our clients, peace of mind to their families, and purpose to the work we do is what it means to elevate the human spirit.”
