About Karla

I became a caregiver because I love to help people, and make sure that they feel comfortable at all times. I am a very calm and easy going person. I worked as a caregiver for more than two years and I love it. The person that I was taking care of was very happy with my job. Being around her and seeing her smile was very rewarding. After being a caregiver I became a medical assist, which is also a rewarding job because I get to help others as well.

    What makes me a good caregiver is i like to sit down and listen to the individual and the family to find out their concerns and fears and how they want things to be. I respect all rights and will not over step my boundary. I'm a good listener and companion. I became a care giver after taking care of my grandma while she battled with cancer. It was a hard and emotional time but after she passed. I learned that we became closer and during that hard time we also had many good times. So in the end results i became a care giver to become a companion and to help others when help is needed.
