About Catherine

I became a caregiver because I like seniors and want to work with humans not machines or tools! I wanted to understand the challenges and philosophy of aging to prepare for my future aging challenges. Being a caregiver gives you an opportunity to show your compassion and exercise your skills you learn to deal with others. Personal achievement I am proud of is make some clients more comfortable and able to cooperate with me when I apply the knowledge and skills on how to deal with dementia clients. I am loyal to my clients, compassionate, dependable, and committed to my clients.
