About Kara

I have always been drawn to taking care of others. When I was young instead of bringing home stray animals, I would bring home children who were less fortunate than myself. Over time I have had many jobs trying to find the right one. Once I started working with seniors in their homes, I knew this was where I am supposed to be. My goal is to help others stay independent and stay in their homes where they are supposed to be. I believe that good nutritionally balanced meals, along with exercise, are essential to staying healthy. Keeping engaged in activities of my clients interest is also very important. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant for the past 9 years and a professional caregiver since 2003. I raised two wonderful children, numerous animals and am still married after 33 years. I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your needs.

Four years ago I retired from nursing. Recently, I moved to Phoenix Arizona to be near family. I have one married daughter in Phoenix where I presently reside, and another married daughter in Peoria. My daughter and son-in-law in Peoria have one daughter and are currently expecting their second child. Prior to moving here, my most recent pertinent work experience was as a homecare non-medical provider to an senior woman in her Kansas home. Though hired as "non-medical care provider" much of my assistance with this woman did revolve around her medical needs as she was an end-stage cancer patient, as well as diabetic. I helped manage her medication schedule, transportation and ensuring she went to medical/doctor appointments. I also monitored her daily health needs such as blood pressure, blood sugars, etc. I would like to care for you or a loved one in your home, and assist you with some of your care needs. I am willing to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparations, exercise/physical therapy programs, transportation and occasional errands or grocery shopping. I enjoy reading, baking, music, walking and spending time outdoors, as well as spending time with my family. I would be delighted to come work for you! --Freida McMahon
