About Katherine

I have always loved helping people that need it. I love being with people and enjoy pretty much everyone. I visit our elderly widows in our church and it just melts my heart to be with them. I started off as a CNA which lead me to care for my mother in law at home with cancer, until she entered into heaven. I assisted with her husband who was paralyzed on his left side. He was awesome and fun! I later worked at the high school until my mother had a stroke. I took care of her for the last six months taking her to dialysis. I've done catheters. I'm friendly, patient, and always willing to encourage the person's to help themselves if they can of course. This is my gift and I'm blessed to be able to do it.
