About Kaitlyn

My name is Kaitlyn Armstrong. I go by Kate. I live with my partner in a small 1940's cottage style house that we renovated together. We have a 4 year old German Shepherd named Axl, a kitten named Stevie, and a pit/lab mix puppy named Peach. I've been drawn to caregiving from a young age, since, when I was 8 years old, my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. This instilled in me a passion for helping others with disabilities, and their families, who I know work so hard already. I have been her caregiver ever since, and have worked professionally in the field for the last couple years. I love the real human connection that comes with this profession. I feel that my sensitive nature and intuition helps me to understand a person's needs even when that person may be unable to communicate them. A personal achievement that I am proud of is graduating from CNA class with a perfect score. I do my best to be respectful, thorough, efficient, and discreet. I am excited to get the opportunity to help as many people, and families as I can.

Experience & Education

In home caregiver

Jun 2021 - Present
Private
In this position, I cared for a middle aged woman with young-onset frontal lobe dementia. I assisted her with bathroom needs, bathing, dressing, hygiene, hair and skincare, meals including cooking, housekeeping, transportation, companionship and other general comfort needs. The patient was also aggressive at times so I was able to gain some experience in dealing with aggressive dementia patients. The patients family decided to move her into a live in care facility, but I still help out from time to time.
