About Kate

I became a caregiver after doing in-home help for my grandparents. I realized that helping others is what I want to do as a career. I enjoy being a caregiver because I love to help others. As we age, we’re not able to do the things that we once could. I love to help give others some of their independence back. I'm proud that I'm a full time medical student with a high GPA. It is important to be on time and be responsible while working and going to school. I have a very positive attitude and I'm very patient. I love to be able to help others and bring a smile to someone’s face. I have very great references and stable job experience.

    I take care of everything & everyone in my life bc it's what I enjoy & therefore do best. After twenty years' experience in elder care, & having taken care of my mom until she was 103, I realize how important it is to have the care & support that's required. This includes not only physical & medical care but also companionship, a sense of safety, trust, acceptance, knowing their needs will be met.
