About Kathleen

I became a caregiver for many reasons, first that comes to mind, is because I was a single mom with a son who has Down Syndrome. I wanted to be a professional and have the skills to care for him. Since becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant I have made many responsible decisions and have enjoyed the last 13 years learning and applying the skills that I have acquired. I have been Certified in the State of Nebraska and in the State of New Mexico, I have returned to California to remain close to my family as we have had to move our mom into long-term care. I am very glad to have made this change and look forward to working here in California.

    I am an AAMA certified medical assistant. I am currently employed with Scripps Health, and looking for in home caregiving opportunities. I am punctual, reliable, hardworking, and will treat your loved one like my own family. My mother had spina bifida and ESRD, so I am well versed in home health care and what it entails. As a CMA I am fully vaccinated (including the Covid vaccine) and CPR certified. I am particularly interested in night shifts. I am experienced in hospice care, memory care, senior care, and all aspects of assistance. I have a reliable vehicle and a clean driving record, and I am willing to help transport your loved one for errands, doctors' visits, and anything else they might need. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors from my degree program, and was hired immediately by the organization I externed with following my program completion, so that is something I'm really proud of! I have a huge heart for others and would love to assist your family.
