About Kathy

I have been taking care of people my entire life. My grandmother turned ill as I entered Jr. High school and I learned how to do for her what she could not do for herself. I love the feeling of helping people even if it's a small thing. I'm a caring loving understanding person. Helping my grandmother in her final months was the most important thing I did besides having my own children. It taught me responsibilities. It takes a loving person to take care of another human being. I have 4 children of my own. My oldest two are going to the Air Force after graduating from high school within the next few years and my youngest two are in Jr. High school. I have been in the medical field all my life. From working at a nursing home to working in surgery at the hospital. I believe this was my calling to be a caregiver.

    Hi my name is Heran I am from Ethiopia and I have been a care giver for more that 10 years. I have a strong belive that you have to love and be compassionate about you career choice in life hence the reason I followed my heart when it come to my career. Care giving is second nature to me where I come from there are no care givers we take care of our ealders and that is just part of our life style. So in conclusion I would like to inform you that when you hire me you can be sure you will get the best quality care because that is the way I see my clients, like my mom or dad like family. I speak fluent English and have my own car. I am punctual and reliable. I believe in giving 100% and going the extra mile.
