About Essence

Being a caregiver is something I've always wanted to do but I really experienced the joy of it when I started a part time position years ago at a residence for individuals with developmental disabilities. I've also recently assisted in taking care of my grandmother who has cancer and recently undergone an leg amputation. I assisted her with getting dressed, using facilities and meal preparation. I love seeing the joy on someone's face when they are doing something they enjoy. I like making people happy and helping in any way I can. I feel more productive when I'm physically doing something vs sitting behind a desk all day.

Hi! My name is Kathy Masino. I am a retired Registered Nurse who decided to stay at home and raise my 3 beautiful children who are now grown and doing their own thing out in the world. I could not be prouder of them or more thankful for the opportunity I had to stay home and raise them. I truly miss the nursing aspect that brought much joy and fulfillment to my life. I would love the opportunity to work again with the elderly in the capacity of a companion with the added benefit of having a nursing background. I believe everyone deserves respect, dignity, compassion in the elder years. Growing old is not easy and unfortunately Father Time gets us all! I have always enjoyed the stories and the quiet moments with elders. They have much to share and much to learn from.
