About Karla

I have passion and authentic love for my clients. I am outgoing, love the outdoors, sports and family ... and cant ever forget to laugh. I became a caregiver/ Medtech and CNA because my father was diagnosed with dementia 20 years ago, my most favorite thing of being a care provider is being able to get to know my clients as people and what they were before their bodies were affected by a disease. I am most proud of raising 3 children to be honest, kind and loving as a single mother and all of my career choices.

I enjoy helping others and putting a smile on their faces. It makes me happy to know that I can change someone's life just with so little. I'm patient, I understand everyone is different, and for that everyone's care plan is different. I will be more than happy to help you with the care of your love ones. I just think everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.
