About Katherine

I am a great caregiver because I have taken care of mother for as long as I can remember. She has a severe case of Multiple Scerlosis and it continues to progress. I love people and building relationships. As I studied Communications at Wake Forest University, I realized my passion is helping people. My grandmother also recently passed away from Alzheimer's disease so my patience and dedication to her furthered my desire to be a care taker. I can work in Charlotte or Winston Salem.

My mother

My mom has had Multiple Scerlosis for 32 years and I have had to take time off from Wake Forest University to come help her. She is my inspiration and when I can help her, make her laugh and forget about her chronic illness, it brings me such joy. I have given her shots, administered medication and taken her to countless doctor appoints.

The main reason I became a CNA to help my grandmother. Being raised by my grandmother, I want to do anything I could to help her as she has done for me until her passing. Since her death in 1977, I use my skills and experience helping other seniors. What I enjoy most about caring for seniors is knowing I have made a different in their lives. When I provide care to my clients, I'm providing care to myself, a very good friend, my grandmother, my mother, my grand father, because my clients are a part of my family. My greatest achievement in caring for my clients is when I can give them something that the doctor or medication cannot give and that's a sense that life doesn't have to be over. For example I have bought home clients from the hospital who was given two weeks to live, after caring for them they out live the two weeks by months and one lived almost a year longer than what the doctor had given. She was able to travel twice to her home state (from California to Ohio), driving herself to church, going out to lunch and dinner with friends. Those were the things she enjoyed doing before she became ill. Something about me, I received my C N A in high school (1976), I have three children two boys and one girl (decease). I also attended two colleges Long Beach City College in Long Beach, CA and Columbia MO online course. My major is Human Services. I'm currently working for a Home Care Agency who only take care of veterans.
