About Karla

I am one of the most easy going, whole hearted, loving people you will meet. I take full pride in all of my work with my patients/clients, and I have been told by everyone I have cared for that it is my calling. That I have a servants heart. I started caregiving at the age of 19, there was something about it that completely drew me in and once I started there was no stopping because I love it so much. The best things about being a caregiver to me are the smile that lights up the room when I walk in, the happy tears when I doll up a lady after a good shower and make her feel beautiful when she hasn't felt that in a while, and being a part of so many wonderful families that you just cherish those memories for the rest of your life. It's truly a blessing. A personal achievement that I am proud of would be being named Employee of the Year and Month for taking on an entire census of patients by myself when both of my co workers had resigned. It was tough, but I got it done and my whole team through a celebration for me. Being a caregiver has taught me so many wonderful things in life, and I couldn't be more grateful.
