About Kara

I am registered with In Home Support Services in Riverside, and Orange County as a registered Caregiver with the State of California I have passed background and fingerprint checks needed. I can and will submit to these if they are required for employment. I have been a live in and a live out caregiver for the last 5 years. But I am also a Mom of a 24 year old daughter so I feel as though I have been a Caregiver for 24 years. I love people, and I love my job. I enjoy it. My last position was for a lady who was blind, a insulin diabetic, and a dialysis patient. When I got to her her grandaughter had been caring for her and was in way over her head. The State stepped in and said she had to go. Her son who is a Federal Agent with the FBI is willling to give me a job reference. I had the odds stacked against me from the start. Well I took those odds and smashed them and that sweet lady the care that she deserved with respect and dignity untill her death recently. I know I made a differnce and it matters.

    I chose to become a caregiver when my Uncle who was on hospice could not be placed in a skilled facility due to no beds available they said. He lived with me and my husband where he was fed, bathed, provided with companionship and made as comfortable as possible til he passed with his loved ones. I also have provided weekly assistance to an elderly couple with cleaning and shopping for them. I love to take care of people who need help. January '17, I ended a caregiver position since she was on hospice and has since passed away. I was with her since May 2016. Most recently I have been employed 40 hours a week caring for a 71 year old female with frontal temporal dementia.

    I am a caregiver for 10 years, all of my previous clients family treat me like their own up to this time, even their friends. I treat every client I work with as a family that's why I like this job. I grew up with my grandparents and that's where my compassion for this job is coming from. I like having conversations with them, hearing their stories are very interesting.
