About Katherine

I am currently a fourth year at UC Davis. A little bit about me is that I love caring for others and I think compassion is one of my greatest strengths. I was most attracted to being a caregiver because a lot of my older family members are getting to the age where they need caregivers. Because they are in Taiwan, I am not able to care for them and meet their needs. I understand how hard it is being a caregiver, and would therefore like to relieve caregivers from some of their stress. I know that a lot of the times, older patients are in need of companionship and just someone to talk to or listen to them. I think being a caregiver is such a humbling experience and those we care for have so much wisdom and life experience to impart.

As a medical assistant at Bayanihan Clinic, I take patient vitals and their chief complaints to see how our clinic can best fit their needs. In addition, I spend time with some of our older patients who live in care homes located in Sacramento. My time with some of these older patients include doing fun activities like bingo, karaoke, or dancing with them.

To be a caregiver is all I've ever wanted to do, I feel like I was born to be a caregiver. And I really love to communicate with elders. I can learn more life experience from them. Also I will be happy when I have the ability to bring some comfort to the elderly, that's so wonderful to see the smile on their face.

I am personable and enjoy being a home care provider. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help others by assisting them with their activities of daily living. I enjoyed caring for many seniors over the years and learned quite a lot from them. I believe I'm a great caregiver because I have had extensive training in a skilled nursing facility as well as in many private homes. I also enjoy seeing the difference that I often make in people's lives. I became a nursing assistant back in 1982 and acquired my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license at the convalescent hospital where I worked. I then went on to work for several home care agencies and acquired my Certified Home HeaIth Aide (CHHA) license. I have worked as an independent contractor caregiver for years. I am willing to commute for full-time employment. I have great references and will be happy to submit them upon request.
