About Kate

- My personality traits that allow me to be successful in my profession as a caregiver are: loyal, trustworthy, compassionate, resourceful, patient and overall kind which I believe is a trait that is overlooked in caregivers. - My attraction to this profession came from a young age in my country due to seeing the abuse and neglect our elderly suffer through and wanting to make a change in their lives. I love being able to put a smile on my employers' faces and showing them kindness and professionalism that they may not be accustomed to receiving. - My enjoyments that come from this job are simple really, I enjoy the personable relationships I garner with my employers that allow for a comfort in the environment I work in. I enjoy waking up knowing that the work I do will help someone in need and that I will be making a difference in someone's life. -What I am most proud of in this profession and in my life as a whole is being able to take a passion of mine from a different country and be able to take that and make a twenty year career out of it. I became a citizen and got my HHA license shortly after and have been changing the lives of many in this twenty year journey. I am proud of being able to have had so many clients with many different issues and to have helped them and learned so much patience throughout.

Marilyn Ford
I have been working as a caregiver for over twenty years with many different types of cases that the elderly unfortunately get later in life. With my current employer I have been for fourteen years. My duties at my current employer include doing laundry for her, outside/inside housework, giving her showers and helping bathe her, giving her companionship, shopping for essentials that she needs, taking her to and from doctors appointments/beauty salon appointments/parks and overall making sure she is getting everything she needs for her health and mental stability. These duties are what I have been acostomed to doing and doing with excellence but I am always open to learn and offer new forms of care for those in need. I also have had my HHA license for fifteen years.

I am a very professional and dedicated caregiver. I have nearly five years experience of taking care of the elderly. Perhaps my background as a school teacher helps me a lot since I have lots of patience and care for my clients especially Alzheimer clients. I love what I do and I do it just as I would want my parents to be cared for or even myself, when I would need someone to care for me.
