About Cathy

I have been a caregiver for 20 years. I love assisting clients with the activities of daily living including walking, grooming, bathing and all personal care. I am quit capable of managing a house and meal planning and am an excellent cook. I can assist with shopping, cooking, transportation to medical appointments and medication management. I have been trained hospice and CPR and a Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Home Health Aid. I love helping people and can always find something to talk about such as current events and family. I can say prayers with your loved one and can read the signs when they are in pain or need rest. I am a giver and love making a difference. I pay my own taxes, and only charge $12/hr with a special $200/24-hr shift rate. I travel as far as Sacramento and the Bay Area to provide services where they are needed.
