About Karen

I've been an LPN for 18 years, I'm 46 years old and I love working with geriatric patients. I'm patient, kind and dependable. I can provide assistance for all activities of daily living with a professional nurse's ability to monitor vital signs, assess and maintain skin integrity (avoid bedsores), recognize signs and symptoms of acute illness, have a knowledge of medications and more while your loved one remains safe and comfortable in their own home.

I have worked in the healthcare most of my life. I became a DSP around 2003-2004 I loved it so much that I went and got my CNA license nursing homes for a few years. But then decided to take time off to take care of my children. Not realizing that I let my CNA license expire. So I went back to the thing that I love my DSP job at Glenbrook in Vienna , where I knew and loved everyone there. But I decided to dip my hand into the cooking career got my certifications and have been doing that ever since. I am energetic and hard-working. I put my everything into what I do and their isn't anything that I can't accomplish when I put my mind to it . Cook DSP, CNA , mother , bestfriend, daughter I've pretty much live the life of a caregiver this is my life and I love every min I will continue to do for as long as I can. I hope to be a member of your team soon . Thank you so much for this opportunity.
