About Kathryn

Hi there! I'm a certified nursing assistant and a current student at UNC Chapel Hill. I have been working as a CNA while I finish my degree. I have really enjoyed my experiences as a CNA and feel that it will make me a better doctor some day. I have 3 years of experience taking care of my grandmother, who is unfortunately blind and immobile. I have personally experienced watching a loved one struggle to do activities that they used to enjoy. I understand the importance of keeping them happy and comfortable in their home. My experiences with my grandma have made me a better caregiver to other seniors. I would love to learn more about your loved one and their needs! *I am also covid-conscious and have been fully vaccinated*

I've had a passion for personal care since I was 15 years old. I lived in Bolivia and volunteered at a convent where the nuns picked up abandoned and homeless elderly and took them to a beautiful nursing home to care for them. There a nurse who knew I loved medicine, took me under her wings and trained me as a CNA. I became a PA in the 1990, but I got a job as a care giver during the time I was home schooling my kids to works night on the side besides my PA work. I love the elderly. I also was blessed to be able to care for my mother who had terminal cancer and finally passed after 3 years. Last year I had the opportunity to work in my field in a Nursing Home and loved every minute of it. I have an Aromatherapy certificate and I am certified to do Aromatherapy essential application in light massage.

Hello my name is Ihilani ( E-He-La-knee) I started my caregiving career with my grandmother at the age of 10 when I went to live with her, after her hip surgery. That is when I knew that being with people during their most vulnerable time was a ministry and not just a job. I believe that no matter what age or stage in your life we can all need help and more important a sense of protection during these times. Mind Body and Soul all need to be nurtured when we are going through health issues. and it brings me great joy to know that I able to help others when they are experiencing medical, mental or soul pain or just a helping hand making sure that the quality of life that a person lives is safe and secure no matter what stage of life they are in. While working with a nursing home... My new patient, would not let me touch him. I couldn't take vitals, bathing was out of the question, he was just mad at the world and I understood. I noticed my new patient had extreme dry mouth and was very dehydrated. I asked, "What is your favorite drink?" He replied,I love orange juice and I have not had any in 4 years. "What???" I look at my new patient and said I will be right back. I returned to the room in about 5minutes and my patient says well this is a first. I asked What is a first? He replies back "That you came back" I look at him and smiled, Sir you do not scare me with a giggle and I have something for you I believe you will love.He looks at me, smirks what could you possibly have for me? walking towards him holding a half gallon jug of orange juice with a straw saying " Your favorite drink Sir." My new patient looks at me saying, I will let you take care of me. Remembering this story makes me tear up. We had a great friendship that only lasted for 6months before he passed, but we laughed, he taught me things and encouraged me in my life's journey and while I only had 6 months with him, when I think of why I love what I do I think about him
