About Kari

I became a caregiver because of recommendations by my friends. They thought that I would really be good at it and convinced me to do it. I worked for myself for 6+ years by word-of-mouth. What I like about being a caregiver is helping and caring for others in need. I am very compassionate, loving, patient, and want to do the best job that I can. I have a very outgoing personality and each day that I am taking care of a senior, I do not look at it as a job. I try to make each day that I am with them, a brighter and happier one!
