About Katherine

I have always loved taking care of people and helping them. I have worked as a assistant in offices as well as being a personal assistant. Since a young age, I have always had an respect for the elderly and enjoyed helping neighbors and family with tasks or just hanging out with them and learning from them. I am very patient and understanding with everyone I meet and know that each person has a process. I love taking care of people because I want to be in a world where people care for people because it is the right thing to do. I also understand that one day I might be in a position where I will need help, I would want someone like me being there, kind and accepting. This is a passion for me not a job, I am proud of that and I enjoy my work because of it.

Since I was a young child I was raised around my elderly family and I loved to help them walk or just do fun things with them. I babysat at the age 9, I just always had that trait in me to take care of others. I took care of my aunt at the age of 17 I had never had training to do any kind of caregiving work but I learned as I went along. For 9 months I cooked for her, I cleaned her wound, drained the bags that were in her incisions, med reminded, bathed her in bed, washed her hair in bed, I changed her in her bed, cut her diabetic toenails and assisted her to and from dr appointments. My aunt suffered from hepatitis C and diabetes. That's how my journey of becoming a caregiver began. I went and took a home health aide class at Castro Valley adult school and got hired at my first company. ComForCare Senior Services in Castro Valley ca. I took break for 7yrs to be a stay at home mommy in 2012 and now I'm ready to get back to work and doing what I love and that's helping others who are in need of help.

I became a Caregiver for my Mother when she was ill. It was about ten years I cared for her. I like assisting people that are in need of having a better quality of living and be most comfortable. I get great satisfaction when I can care for someone that deserves better quality of living and care. I decided to get my Nurses Assist and Home Health Aide certification to do my job better. In the past I worked as a Pharmacy Technician and took Healthcare courses to better myself. I enjoy helping other people and learning of whatever it is.
