About Katie

Most of my life I have worked in childcare,but the last several years I worked with an older woman and found it very rewarding. The biggest thing that stands out about me is my compassion for others. My life is worth living if I'm truly doing something to make someone else's life better. My heart truly goes out to the elderly,and I enjoy keeping them company,giving them something to look forward to,and being myself,naturally finding what makes their day! I'm a kind-hearted,patient and energetic person,and I love have a purpose and being there for others!

I am very passionate when it comes to taking care of others. Ever since I was a teenager, I knew in my heart that helping those in need was my calling. I started nursing school in college and then went straight to work at hospitals, nursing homes, and at the comfort of people's homes. I am an advocate for the Alzheimer's Association, and volunteer as a caregiver support group facilitator. I have two children who are growing too fast, and a mother who is a cancer survivor who I took care of. Also, I am a lover of animals and have no problems taking care of them as well.

Although I have always had a natural ability to help others, I became interested in caregiving and the healthcare field after taking care of my uncle who had cancer. I understood the importance in providing quality care for those in need. As a certified CNA, being passionate in what I do, responsible, empathetic, and self-less are the qualities I am proud to carry. An accomplishment I am proud of is going back to school to pursue nursing and maintaining a high GPA.
