About Katrina

I became a caregiver in 2001 because I like to take care of people. When I moved back to Ohio with my daughter. We moved in with my grandmother. This is where I got my start in home care. I remember how my grandmother went from a very active person to someone who needed help with everything. I loved taking care of her and helping her be the person she used to be. It is what I was born to do. I hate to see people in pain of any kind. I believe there is worse pain in the pain of going from a independent person to a dependent person. I like to help people lead full happy lives no matter how long or short they have. Everyone deserves to live their life with dignity and respect. I look at everyone I have taken care of as family. They are my grandmother or my grandfather and I treat them just like I would have treated my family. I don't want anyone to feel like they are a burden on their family. I want to help them feel like they are a vital part of the family. I went and finally took the STNA classes last year (2013) but I have been doing everything I learned in that class long before I took the class.
