About kara

I am understanding, patient, trustworthy and kind. I want nothing but the best for loved ones. I believe each individual should be treated and cared for with dignity and respect and I always treat each person the way I would expect a care giver to treat and care for my loved one. I find joy in making people happy, I love being able to touch individuals as well as families with what I hope to be a positive and happy memory of how care is provided and develop relationships along the way. I understand how hard it is on families to take on care of a loved one themselves as well as the guilt of placing one in a facility, I wish to help keep families together and at home. One of the biggest achievements I am most proud of is gaining custody of my nephew when he was only two months old and showering him with love and affection by his own family, in his own home. My availability is somewhat limited but I am willing to work with anyone in need of the best care for their loved one. Nursing is my passion.

I genuinely care about my clients. In addition to doing my job in a professional manner, I treat all of my clients with kindness, respect, and dignity. As a teen, I helped my mother care for my grandmother and always enjoyed spending time with her. My own mother is a dementia patient with diabetes and I am involved in her care as well. I truly enjoy working with seniors assisting them with independence and a better quality of life.
