About Katherine

I find it to be very rewarding, I enjoy learning the life and history of people. I have taken care of some remarkable women. When i learn about their past history and what they did, it humanizes them and interests me. I've assisted with Parkinson, Alzheimer, and dependent elderly clients. I'm a former Internal Medicine physician,with experience in a diverse group of diseases, and hospice care. Having experienced a serious illness myself I have a lot of empathy. Now that I'm in remission, I'm grateful to be able to give back and serve people who need assistance

Karen M.

$28.00/hour · Encinitas, CA

Hi, I'm Karen. I am a mature, single woman living in south coastal Encinitas. I am looking forward to hearing from families that are seeking help. I enjoy helping others, especially elders for whom I have the utmost respect, sympathy and genuinely care about. They are treasure troves of knowledge and full of wonderful life experiences. I meet new and wonderful families and I have become friends with almost all of my clients. I specialize in working with ambulatory victims of some form or stage of dementia/Alzheimer's or other mental illness. Also, I make a good companion for those who can no longer drive. And since I am an animal lover, I will readily care for any kind of pets as well. Again, I look forward to hearing from you to discuss how my background and experience can assist your loved ones and family. Most sincerely, Karen PS: my availability and rates are flexible.

Sabrina C.

$20.00/hour · Oceanside, CA

Hi! My name is Sabrina Carson. I'm 42yrs old. After 15 yrs of staying at home to raise my 3 children, a caregiving opportunity had been presented to me. I took that opportunity 6 yrs ago and I've been a Caregiving ever since. I like to think that I have a natural approach when it comes to caring for someone. There's no better feeling than being able to assist someone (who otherwise struggles on their own) in accomplishing their daily life's tasks. I sincerely enjoy helping someone concur milestones and/or helping them to achieve and even surpass their goals. To see that sense of accomplishment on one's face feeds their confidence and that feeds my soul. I am a friendly, compassionate / understanding and an extremely patient person that prides myself on having a personal approach with my clients/patients. My goal is for anyone that I encounter to feel comfortable and safe at all times while in my care.
