About Katherine

Hi there! A little about me. I'm friendly, compassionate, and easy to get along with. I recently relocated from MD after 18 years as a Medical Assistant with the same practice. I am interested in working with families on a more one on one basis. Caring for and helping people is something that comes naturally to me. My care giver experience started with house cleaning when a friend asked if I knew anyone that might be interested in cleaning his parent's house. At the time I was interested in making some extra income and offered to give it a try. I realized I had a real knack for cleaning and enjoyed the feeling of a job well done. This continued for 10 years until sadly both his parents passed. My main responsibility was keeping the house organized and clean which I did with superb attention to detail. I later helped with other things such as medication reminders and blood pressure checks. My FT career as a Medical Assistant for a Urologist was an asset for me to help with other aspects of care. I have also had experience caring for my Father when he entered Hospice. This was an experience that I feel honored to have been a part of albeit one of the most difficult too. My personality I'm told is friendly and quick witted. I do have a sense of humor which is a quality that is beneficial when working in health care.

I come from a long line of caregivers, taking care of others is what I do best. I am not new to this field I have done training for a very long time.I have empathy for others, an can always put myself in someone else's shoes, so I never pre judge others or fail to show how much I care. I love people, is why I started in this field I have learned so much from my patients.I try to make their day a little more enjoyable....
