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.

    What makes me a great caregiver is my heart. I have always cared about the well being of others, it makes me happy knowing that I am able to help people. What I like about caregiving is meeting new people, and being able to do all I can to comfort and help. A personal achievement I am really proud of is working with someone with CP. This person was in a wheel chair for a long number of years, this person gave up long ago. I came in and got to help this person and care for them helped with motaviating this person to start exercising and then we started taking small steps, thru out my years of caregiving with this person. I was able to help get this person out of the chair and to start walking again. It made me feel so good to see smiles from my client and the family because of how I dedicated myself to her, I was able to give hope and was able to see my client do somethings on their own. It is definitely a highlight to caregiving.
