About Kaitlyn

I think my personality trait which helps me the most as far as being a great caregiver is the fact that I am fulfilled by helping others have a higher quality of life; as far as expertise related to this profession, I am lucky enough to be very strong and healthy. Enough so I am beyond capable of transferring and supporting even the largest clients on my own. I was attracted to being a caregiver because I helped an elderly woman using a wheelchair two doors down from where I grew up for one dollar every day after school and knew pretty early on that I would like to work in that field as an adult. The thing I enjoy most is typically a witty client along with the wisdom and stories that are shared with me, but I also enjoy the rare but incredible dynamic you create with some clients. I had an ALS victim who I still call my best friend to this very day.

I have cared for a very wide range of clients all across the Illinois and Missouri region, enjoying each different personality as much as the last. I loved you know that I am elevating quality of life for someone, along with being helpful in general. I adore this profession along with the wisdom and wonderful stories that I have been lucky enough to gain over my years as a caregiver. I have done everything from severe memory care, behavioral disorders, stroke and other awful occurrence victims, ALS patients, and some who just needed a friend and chauffeur or help with cleaning and caring for pets. I love this and am willing to fulfill whatever role necessary.
