About Kathy

Though I have no medical training, I cared for my mother for 8 years until she passed away September, 2014 of pancreatic cancer. She had various medical issues including a stroke in 2007 and diabetes. I was her sole caregiver even when she was transitioned to hospice care. While caring for her, I was employed by LifeSpan, a reputable company in Dallas. I now work for My Catered Living, another reputable company that provides assistance and companionship to north Texas elderly. I'm about to graduate college with a degree in social work, majoring in Gerentology. This fall will be my final semester. I want to be in the private sector. I have excellent references and work ethic. I am 58 years old. I am single with no children. I have reliable transportation and can travel up to 25 miles from my home. Please consider me for your service. I look forward to your reply. Thank you for your consideration.

    I am responsible for meeting the needs of the client. Each client differs in the services they require. I am considered one of the top caregivers with this company and I am fond of management however, at this time, I am simply not getting enough hours.

    I am a very patient and attentive person. The most rewarding and precious thing we all have is our time and devotion. My goal as a caregiver is to empower as well as, revive a sense of personal independence. Building self esteem and administering a heavy dose of reassurance, are my strong points. I am a Medical Assistant, I have been a Cosmetologist for over twenty years, so I have a great bedside manner. I am a Christian. As a caregiver, I empower the weak to feel strong and allow them to have as much choice in their own lives as possible.
