Hello, my name is Kali. I'm a 26 years old and I live in the Biloxi, MS area. I currently work with families to find resources to meet care needs for themselves or for loved ones! I am looking for either a full time or part time position as a caregiver. I do not have any medical training, so I can only assist with basic daily activities! I enjoy working with elderly and I would love to have a more hands-on approach with helping families in my area!

My favorite thing about being a caregiver is the people I get to meet. I get to connect with some amazing people on a personal level, where at times, it doesn't even feel like work. I treat every client as if they were my own family, and with time, they really feel like it!
