About Kathleen

I absolutely love helping others, working with our elderly and disabled and have been doing so since age 15, professionally for over 22 years. In our society it is now commonplace to toss them aside. Not so with me. I believe they deserve all of the love, respect and honor possible, especially for those on their journey "home". I believe in quality of life above anything else and will work tirelessly to ensure both you and your family get just that! My portfolio is large and my reputation for excellant care is well known in the Bay Area . My specialties are hospice care, advocacy between patients and their care team, care team/household management and assisting/managing detailed treatment plans for those who are terminally ill yet are "getting the cure"; particularly if travel is involved, as nearly ALL cures are banned from the U.S. I have a toy Chihuahua named Nutmeg; a registered and licensed service animal via the U.S.D.R., who's job is to put a smile on your face and contentment in your soul, that is of course if you desire the extra companionship. I care very much about people and I feel it is my calling to help those who can't help themselves. Please contact me directly for references etc. I am overly cautious about peoples personal information. Peace and Light!

I can say I am a good caregiver because I love what I do. I want helping other individual and giving the best care I can share them. My profession and being a caregiver molded me to be a strong person and love the work I do even in times of heavy and strenuous workload. I can give you testimonies and documents about the cases I handled. Let other discover who you are.. As I mention earlier I like to be a caregiver because I touch lives of people, especially the elders 100 percent I can make them feel that even in their last stage of life there are still people who can let them feel that they are important. The greatest achievement I have was able to send my daughter to a good school because of caregiving. Even though our work is tiring at the end of the day a client will tell you and will say....'THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU MADE ME COMPLETE. For me this are acievements.

I started out caregiving when I took care of my grandmother and that was in 1986, she had pancreatic cancer she was such a trooper. To make my patients feel comfortable is number one whether a smile or running errands, doctors appointments, and always make them feel secure and respected In their life. I love to make them feel comfortable. My personal achievement is to make them happy and comfortable, to be that ear and listen to their stories. I feel that companionship is very important! I am a caring person and I also speak Spanish, Family oriented.
