About Karen

I am a 50-year-old woman who has cared for 2 elderly parents (1 through Cancer, other Alzheimer), a lovely 64 yr. old lady with ALS / Alzheimers & a wonderful man of 81 with COPD etc. I raised 2 productive, delightful, responsible children to adulthood (25 and 28) with no issues. I am a VERY personable lady with a huge heart who is very much a conversationalist, so I meet no strangers. I am one who treats others how I want to be treated and how I would want my loved ones treated. I am very maternal, protective and loving. I have 28 years experience as Mother and 9 as Grandma and 12 Years of caring for my elderly parents & 6 yrs. caring for others professionally. I most recently sat with a 63-year-old stage 6 Alzheimers / ALS patient. I am a very responsible, ethical and & trustworthy person to boot and even have the current background check available to you for extra peace of mind, just ask. I am interested in a sitting/companion/ caretaker position with elderly with or without pets. I also offer help by doing Meal Prep, very light housekeeping, errand running, transportation to and from Dr. Appts. Etc. You need it just ask. God Bless, K
