About Kathy

Hello. I am an LPN, seeking to be a caregiver. I recently took care of my mother who was fighting a bout of depression. I realized how valuable being with her every day was and how effective working one on one was! Now that she no longer needs me there everyday, i would like to find other opportunities to work with someone in need. I am a mother of four grown children and married for 30 years. I have always loved taking care of my family and others in my nursing career.

    I became a caregiver because I care about the well-being of the elderly. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel good inside. I am dependable, responsible, and honored to take care of the patients I meet and have a positive impact on their lives. I have up-to-date CNA and BLS certifications. I also have 6 years' experience working with the elderly, assisting them with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting etc. I get a sense of satisfaction from helping patients feel comfortable and loved.

    I became a caregiver based on the experience I had with my mother who had a stroke in her 70s. Since then, I understood that kids and , specially, elderly need a lot of love and attention from all of us. I am a pretty kindly, affectionate, organized, efficient and trustworthy Companion.
