About Karen

Hi, my name is Karen Leigh :) One of the most important accomplishments I have and will continue to fulfill as my passion and purpose in life is to make a positive difference in our neighbors lives, in this world based on love, respect and kindness. I have accumulated many years of experience both professionally as well as personally as a caregiver. Providing care for more than one of my family members...loved ones, places my role as a caregiver near and dear to my heart, with great empathy in which I do consider an honor. I believe that one of the most important part our relationships is companionship, providing psych-social support activities so important to everyone's life. The most basic interactions seem to be the most impactful...Sitting together chatting, sipping a cup of tea, coffee, laughing, playing a game, going for a walk, watching and listening to nature etc. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for assistance needed. My schedule at this time is open and flexible. Sincerely, Karen Leigh
