About Kathleen

I have been an elder care for 7 yrs. I very much enjoy this work. I was raised by my Paternal Grandmother and I think that this greatly influences my patience and respect for the elderly. I am very calm, stable and reliable. My most recent client was a retired senior Catholic Priest. I would prepare all of his daily meals, Tidy up his apartment, take him for Dr. visits and haircuts, oversee him taking his medications and insulin, help him with personal hygiene and record his daily blood pressure, weight and morning sugar level. I gained a lot of personal satisfaction in seeing him cared for, content and able to stay in his apartment.

Senior Catholic retired Priest
I worked for a senior Catholic Priest From March of 2014 until August of 2017. I cooked meals, shopped, Helped with personal hygiene, oversaw medications, insulin, and daily weight and BP. I took him out to Dr's appt's and hair cuts. I also did lite housekeeping and tidying up. As I worked I periodically observed and evaluated him for alertness, breathing, coloring and general well being as he had COPD and diabetes in which status could change quickly. He just recently entered a senior care facility so I am currently available for new employment. I have excellent referrals which I can present upon request. I look forward to meeting you should you require my services. I am calm, steady, reliable and have a lot of patience with the elderly.
