About Kathryn

I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping people when they are unable to help themselves. I like the interaction with the patients and the feeling I get when I know that I am helping them. A personal achievement I am proud of is the reaction on the patients faces when I am working. At my recent job, they all loved me and the work I was doing for them. I am a recent graduate of Institute of Technology for the Professional Medical Assisting program. In the program I learned how to give injections as well as blood draws. I also learned HIPPA and OSHA requirements. I al also CPR certified.

    I began my caregiving career as a skilled CNA in a nursing home at the Care Center in Oakdale. Once I perfected my skills and with the proper work-methods, I resumed my work ethics at Oak Valley Hospital in the Rehabilitation Center; and was promoted by The Director of Nursing to a RNA position ( Restorative Nursing Assistant) working directly with professionals such as PT, PTA, Speech Specialists, RNs and Doctors. It was my absolute pleasure to see my patients regain their health and return home to loved ones. With my acquired experience and knowledge, great compassion and kindness, I became an independent caregiver and have worked as a private caregiver for over 15 yrs. I love what I do. I have met many wonderful clients and family loved ones; and graciously, I have received many letters of recognition. Through my caregiving process, I have worked diligently along side Hospice, applying my nursing skills to bring comfort to dying patients. My goal is to bring a quality of life to my clients with much joy and with a compassion filled with gentle kindness. Please see letters of recommendation and summaries of some of my caregiving positions below.
