About Karen

I was raised by my grandmother because my younger sister was born with a cleft palate. My grandmother was 70, so as a young child and a young adult being around her and all of her many friends it became normal for me. I love working with the elderly and have gained much knowledge and understanding of older people. I have worked with Hospice care, and worked with patients that have dementia and memory loss. I Have worked with wheelchair bound and stroke patients, have been very successful in rehabilitation. I recently relocated and have availability full time. I have excellent references, and would like to meet and talk with families that are looking for a supportive and loving caregiver.
