About Catherine

I am a passionate caregiver who is extremely dedicated to fulfilling the needs of the elderly. Over the course of my career, I have developed the necessary skills directly relevant to the role of being a Caregiver, as well as performing these skills confidently and successfully. I became a Caregiver due to the fact that at a young age, I assisted with the caring of my elder family members in any way that I could. I enjoy the many stories, jokes, and advice told by the elderly allowing us to build and form a new bond. One of my greatest achievement is being able to give my clients a happy and a good quality of life during the time they need it the most.

I worked in home healthcare as a caregiver for many years. I have always chosen jobs that allow me to interact with people because patience and interacting with all types of people are my strong points. I learned so much from the people I worked for that it really enriched my life. Since most of my clients suffered from Arthritis I took classes in Arthritis care and treatment and aim certified to teach land and water Arthritis exercise classes. I am also certified in CPR. For the past three years I have been a volunteer at St. Baldricks, a non profit charity for childhood cancer. This reinforced to me how important it is for any family to have support for their family members when they can't be there. I really enjoy being able help families know that their loved ones are in good hands.
