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.

    My career as a caregiver began with taking care of both my parents. My father had cancer and my mother had dementia. I was working as well while taking care of my parents. After they passed away and in 2012 my job where I was working was outsourced, I decided I wanted to make a career of being a caregiver. I went to CTK Healthcare and Career Institute to obtain my CNA certification. Since 2013 to current I have worked privately and with agencies as a caregiver. My skills and duties are to perform light housekeeping, light meal preparations, assist with shower and dressing, medication reminders, assist with shopping for groceries and putting them away, assist with pet care, and companionship. I enjoy interacting with my clients and helping them have a safe, healthy , and clean environment to live in. I understand the challenges of caretaking as well as the stress of a loved one's health changes and needs changing from taking care of my parents. I find great joy in life being there for others and help make there day less stressful.
