About Karene

My name is Karene Pierre. I have over 10 years experience caring for the physically disabled and the mentally challenged ranging from different age groups including the elderly. I also worked as a home maker. I am adequate for the job description and will care for your loved one as I would want someone to care for my loved one, should I ever need it. I have worked with wheelchair recipients, accompanied clients to appointments, light housekeeping and the dispensation of medicine when needed. Aided in showers, personal hygienic care and assisted in dressing individuals as needed I became a care giver because it is my very nature yo care for others. Care giving can change the course of someone's life, and aid the individual to get back to his or her life, If not, the individual still receives care and assistance in everyday living for the things which can no longer be achieved by the individual....This is the ultimate goal of a Care Giver: to make a significant difference in the life of any given individual. It is very rewarding to accomplish such a task, and in reality to care genuinely for another cannot be mocked ,pretended or compensated because no one can truly pay someone to have that devotion in one's heart...It has to be a part of the Care Giver's nature.

    I have been a caregiver for over 25 years and I love it. My mother was a Home Health Nurse and took me with her sometimes and I would see how just little things would make her clients so happy and knew that is what I wanted to do. I have worked for Visiting Angels for almost 8 years and I'm still there, but they don't have many hours right now. I am certified on Alzhelimer and Dementia care, I also have my CPR certification. I can take your loved one to Doctor Appointments and report the doctor's instructions to the family, go on outing and doing whatever they choose to do. I have multiple letters from family members about how well I take care of their family members and they have also sent the letters to Visiting Angels. I love what I do so I guess that's why I don't look at it as just a job. I have always treated my clients as I would want someone to treat my loved one
