About Kari

I enjoy being with my clients! I love the personal interaction and using all of my skills to respond to a variety of needs. Running my own in-home assistant business since 2011, I have acquired the knowledge and skills to work with clients who are aging and/ or have medical needs. As a former special education teacher, I have developed a great deal of patience and understanding of people of all ages and their individual situations. My motto is " Meet people where they are, and build from there." I take a commonsense approach to life and take pride in LISTENING to clients and their families to find the best possible outcomes. I can help fill in the gaps for families and individuals who need help with daily tasks, need respite, or just need social interaction. I do not have medical training, but have acquired knowledge of medications, special physical and mental limitations and modifications, as well as having formal education and experience in behavior management.

I am very caring, friendly, honest and dependable. I have always just been a very caring person naturally. There is nothing I would rather be doing then making people feel loved and cared for.

I am a dependable, well organized, energetic, caring and loving person who has a passion for taking care of others. I have experience with the elderly mainly from caring for my own grandparents the last seven years of their lives. My grandfather suffered from Alzheimer's and dementia. My grandmother had suffered a stroke and had cancer. Caring for them is where my passion for taking care of the elderly began. But I have always had a passion for helping in general. I have cared for the mentally and physically disabled as well. I have my associates degree in Health and Human Services now and look forward to continuing to help others as I utilize my new knowledge.
