About KATHERINE KIRBY

I am compassionate about people and always willing to assist. My caregiving experience began with my father who had dementia. I cared for him in my home until he passed away in 2018. After that my mom had several falls which have resulted in me being her caregiver. I try to make sure those I am caring for are surrounded by positive thoughts and do my best to reduce their stress. I'm proud of working for the Cobb School System. I retired 6 years ago after working for 23 years. I assisted elementary age students age 5-10 years old, both in regular and special education.
