About Karen

I have 20+ years of providing awesome customer service. I'm a good listner and treat client with dignity and respect as I like to ne treated. I love working with people. I enjoy helping others. I'm proud of a case I had that everyone complained that the client was very difficult and often fired the caregiver. I was asked to work with her and I agreed. To make a long story short we got along well. She told me how some people treated her and didnt let her make her own choices. I had several people ask why she had kept me and why I didnt mind working with her. I just aaid I teeat her as a person and not a patient. Listened to and respected what she had to say and not go into her home with the im in charge and you do as I say attitude. I worked with her until she passed.
