About Karen

I became a caregiver because I have a nurturing nature. I like being a caregiver because I receive genuine satisfaction from giving my all in assisting someone who is unable to care for themselves. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is out of the 30 plus years I've had in this field, I've never been terminated from a position, and I always receive great recommendations. I am a patient, kind, dependable, compassionate, and responsible person as well as employee. I've been a caregiver for 30 plus years. I've cared for people that needed minimal assistance as well as others who required total care. I've worked with client's in long term and assisted living facilities, as well as private homes. I have experience in Alzheimer/Dementia care. I also have 7 years experience in hospice care including both continuous care and home health aide.
