About Catherine

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping our seniors with everyday life, I enjoy learning about their lives, I like for them to know that they still matter even as they grow older, that someone still has time for conversation. I know that their families have busy lives and while they do care very much for their elders, their everyday lives are complicated with taking care of everyday issues like the bills. I want to be that person they can lean on to let their aging family member know how special they are to them, I do not want to replace them, I just want to be there when they cannot. I believe that I have stated pretty well what I like about being a caregiver. I am proud that I have overcome some devastating things in my life and have moved on to be a better person who has a great deal of patients, caring attitude, loving respect for others, and want to share a smile with our aging community. I enjoy making others smile and bringing laughter to someone Else's life no matter what is going on in my personal life. I do not bring any personal problems to work with me, I do not feel like you should make someone feel unhappy because you may have issues to deal with, personal problems should stay personal and not a problem for the people you are helping.

Unemployed

I had been a truck driver for the past 11 years, and found out I have an eye condition that had left me legally blind for a little over a year while I had my eye treatments, the condition is called hystoplasmosis and is caused by a bird flu that they say I probably had as a child, it is not contagious!! I have regained my sight and am legal to drive a vehicle but not an 18 wheeler again and have been able to drive a car for the last four years, and I have a clean driving record.

I am attentive, creative, enthusiastic and hard working. I always feel I have room for improvement to be the best possible caregiver to clients- giving them patience and caring for their wellbeing, as well as their mental and physical needs. I became a caregiver to help, even though I didn't think I'd be a good caregiver. It was evident in my first day of training that I thought wrong. I have a natural instinct for helping and guiding others, allowing them to be independent yet assure them that I am there to help. To see that clients are smiling and are genuinely thankful for my assistance shows me I did a good job.
