About Kathy

I became a caregiver when my children were very young. I could stay home with them and they had playmates to have fun with. Now I have grandchildren that have graduated from high school. Even the job I had with 7-11 had me taking care of lots of people all shift long. For the past 6 years we(my husband and I) have taken care of people with developmental disabilities as well as people with physical disabilities. 1 elderly man had both physical(polio as a child) and developmental disabilities. (He also had a sense of humor) I have recently done some elder care which I also enjoy. I have been married to a very loving, caring person for 14 years. He graduated from DU and was a CPA for many years. He now drives truck locally and, like a lot of people, mostly likes what he does.

    I belivee to be detail oriented to bea caregiver on to acknowledge each customer, client or resident their changes each and every day. i am good with companionship and are a great listener. I have a big heart as a caregiver and the needs for those who I care for is very important to me and the family. What I enjoy as being a caregiver is activities of daily duties. I want to make sure the care for them is more important and the importance of their personal hygiene the care for their activities for light exercises and the hours for when they have eaten or not is very important before helping them with other things such as light housekeeping. The concern for the client's health is more important than anything else.
