About Katherine

I am an experienced middle aged woman with a kind soul. I first entered Home Care and hospital sitting after High School while I attended University. I sat with people who were recovering from surgery, had Alzheimer's, those that were in need of help in home. I got my Health Care Certificate with Saint John Ambulance in Canada before I married and moved to the United States. Have taken courses at the American Red Cross including CPR and Advanced Life support. Have been working in the Dental field for 30 years and wish to make a career change. I am currently doing clerical work for a contractor in Jupiter, FL. Love people and especially my elders who I have learned so much from. I am honest, trustworthy and hard working.

    I have 10 years working experience. I love to be a caregiver because I have the compassion, patience and capabilities to give the tender loving care for each individual. I also work as a visiting nursing assistant for eight years and my knowledge expands over a wide area of illness and recoveries. I am a happy individual and I am comfortable around my patients and them around me. I am fiftysix years old and I am a healthy person and I am willing to give my knowledge and experience to any one that is interesting to employ my services. I am available for an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you Vincella
