About Kiara

I'm 35 years of age, I have been doing caregiver's work for 11 years. I enjoy taking pride in my work and make family with residents. I treat each and everyone of my residents with respect and dignity. Regardless of their diseases they may have. At the end of the day they're still human. I have gained many of friendship with my residents. I became a caregiver when my grandmother became sick and we took turns caring for her. It made me look at life totally different. I care for my clients as if I would want someone to care for myself,or my mom. What I enjoy most is how happy my residents be when they see me and greet me by name that let's me know I'm doing something right. Cause even though they have dementia they are still able to remember my name. That let me know I left a mark on their heart. So a smile goes a long way.

Summer Update [?]: I am free and available for the entire summer until day after Labor Day, in which afterwards, I go back to my schedule below. After Labor Day Availability: I am available late evenings, overnight til 4am w/sleep, & some weekends can be negotiated. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience and ability to take the lead to discern when a situation needs action or not. I have had many clients whose demands were very different but I adjusted right away bc I do understand the need for each person to have dignity and still feel as though they have a level of independence. I have serviced those as young as 38 with terminal cancer to those who were a mature age of 88 with heart, mobility, and respiratory issues, dementia, Alzheimer's, and bed-ritten, so I am well-rounded. I am a mother of 2 boys now young men and I am married but I have still devoted countless hours for my clients, even living in with them 24/7 and working 12 to 24 hour days, 7 days a week. I do not mind at all. I am gracious and love people too much. I will be a promising catch.
