About Kathy

I Love being a caregiver because I love to help. This is my passion, I've been a caregiver for 24 years. My goal is to be able to listen and give the patient what they need. Showing compassion and respect to my patients is what's important to me. I spent a lot of time with my grandfather as a kid and when I grew up I remember always saying that I wanted to work in the Health field. What I enjoy most is seeing them smile and being able to help them. Throughout my years of working in the Healthcare field, I'm so proud to say that I have taken care of 2 of my previous bosses. Both have passed on and it was so rewarding for me to once work for them and to be able to take care of them till the end.

What makes me a great caregiver I will say that I really care about people I tried to listen to what their needs and wants are and try to provide them with the best of my ability. I'm a caring loving person I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated, I became a caregiver when I was 13 years old taking care of my grandmother and her friends that was Eastern star members. I would go to their homes and prepare their food and take out the garbage and clean their homes in the summertime I found a lot of joy in helping them. The most thing that I enjoy about being caregiver is being there for someone that really needs me, listening to their stories, providing the care that they need. It gave me great joy to know that I am need it and want it. My personal achievement is to start my own group homes for the homeless, for the children, and for the seniors, and for the mentally ill. I want to see if community their work together stays together I think everyone needs each other to make this world a better place to live .
