About Karen

I became a caregiver to assist and support others to be able to live a safe and productive life in one's own home. I enjoy being a caregiver because I like offering support and companionship and find it to be a rewarding and fulfilling job. Personal achievements that I am proud of are raising three kids as a single mom with two in college and my youngest being a senior in high school and is the #7 defensive back in northern California he has 5 scholarships and another 20 schools looking at him. It was worth the years of traveling, volunteering, late practice, football camps, doctor's visits and the blood, sweat and tears, and that's just my side. I enjoy karaoke with friends and family, thrift shopping, walking and reading autobiographies.
