About Katherine

Hello :) My name is Katie and I have been in patient care for 8 years and I cannot imagine doing anything else. Healthcare is more of a passion and calling for me, rather than a job or a chore. A little bit of my background: I have done a lot of home health care, I have worked in an ICU psych unit and a geriatric psych/dementia unit in a hospital setting. I have worked in a cardiac ICU, at a rehab/long term care facility, and I have 4 years experience with quadriplegia and muscular dystrophy care. I usually hold more than one position at a time which has led to a wide variety of experience. Working with quadriplegia has taught me to be very observant and detail oriented. I also have a lot of experience with dementia and my Medication Aide certification. I am a thorough housekeeper, a pretty good cook, and a loving companion. I am a patient and empathetic person that lives to help people. I am excited to hear from you and can provide references upon request :)

I am happily married to my husband Jared of nine years this June 19th. Both of us have a sweet cat, Zoe, which is her name. I enjoy taking care of the elderly, and getting to know them, while maintaining my licensure. If you need anything, then you can count in me. Blessings.

I love helping people in need, regardless of how little or big the issue. I have been a Caregiver since the age of 10 when I started babysitting. I am patient, caring, a good listener, compassionate and just enjoy helping people live an easier life. I enjoy the company of the senior generation, I think they deserve to live a happy, healthy, easier life as they get older, they have earned that privilege and I will do whatever it takes for them to live independently for as long as they are able. It's not about the money in this profession, it's about caring, compassion and helping those in need.
