About Karen

Some of the things that make me a great caregiver are great traits and work habits that stands out. Compassion Patience Reliable Trustworthy Felexible These skills are developed over time. I became a caregiver because both my grandfather and grandmother got sick and at the time I was living with them and thought it to be me responsible. After I got married and then my husband also became very ill and there the love for being a caregiver began. I fee this is what I was born to do providing care service to those that otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces let me know that I'm doing a good thing. I like being a caregiver because I enjoy the one-on-one interaction with the patient. Love taking care of older Adults it's like doing work that has potenting to make a difference in someone's life. What are the personal achievement that I am proud of is when my husband was at death door with the help of the heavenly father withe the love and special attention he was granted a few more years.

I am professional, energetic and enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I started my career in health as a Registered Nurse in Australia. I have also worked in many areas of health and education. I have worked as a RN in acute and aged care settings. I also cared for my father in my home for over 5 years when he suffered dementia so I understand the challenges for families when providing care for their loved ones. I worked with special needs children in a residential home for 5 years and early childhood education for 12 years. I am well traveled having lived and worked in many countries in Asia and Africa. I am respectful of others choices and cultures. I am a calm person who focuses on solutions as opposed to dramas. I have a problem solving approach to challenges. I am completely reliable in all matters from time management to spoken word and money. When caring for clients, I aim to give them the same level of care and respect I would like for my family members. I am a good communicator but I am also aware of the importance of confidentiality. I have recently moved to Scarsdale as my husband has been posted here with the UN. I have my own car and can be flexible with work hours.
