About Karen

I became a caregiver because caring for others is my passion. When my dad got Cancer I was just a little girl n I still remember the caregiver that helped my mom through her journey with him and that is when I decided I wanted to do caregiving.I love the satisfaction I I get when I see that a client is pleased with my work.Just this year I was able to help a very famous person through her journey of passing because she had terminal cancer and I got to stay with her right through the end, that night I got a phone call from her sister and I will never forget how I felt when she thanked me and called me an "angel" it was a very proud moment in my life.I have alot of years in this line of buisbess and I dont picture myself doing any thing else. My life is filled with very jouyus moments with clients and memories with the ones who have passed that will stay with me for the rest of my life making me a better person, daughter, mother and friend.I learn something new every day and use my experiences with clients to better myself as a caregiver.
