About Kathleen

What attracted me to become a caregiver was my Mother in law. I had a thriving Janitorial cleaning service that did very well. When she was giving the diagnoses my husband and I moved her in with us. In 4 years the mental disease Dementia took over quickly. I knew cleaning buildings and homes is not what I was put here to do. I took care of her until she passed and I became a caregiver shortly after.

My job is to taking care of indivuals with disabilities. Including: Bathing, distribution of medications, Dressing bed striken with a lift and or mobile individuals with physically disabilities. What made me change my professional career to becoming a caregiver was my Mother in-Law. She became mentally ill. Dementia took over fast and she passed away. After she died I closed my cleaning business and went into the medical feild. I have a true passion for those that can not do for themselves. Disability can be the lifestyle of many. I would love the opportunity to make a difference in there lives.

I am a 37year old CNA and mother of three,I became a caregiver because I love helping others and caring for those who can't perform or need assistance with their daily activities. When I was a young girl my mother was diagnosed with MS and my siblings and I were responsible for helping her with her daily activities and from that moment forward I knew that was my calling. In the past I have taken care of several loved ones and others until they're last moment here and thats what I feel like I am here to do, its my passion. I love being able to make a difference in someone else's life and make them happy.

I've been a caregiver since 1999. I started out by caring for a sick family member for 8 months. After that, I developed a passion of caring for others and I went on to continue to caring for others via a home health agency from 2008 to 2016. I'm no stranger to hard work. I do take pride in my work and my abilities to make individuals feel loved no matter what quality of life they may have currently and at the end of the day it's all about one's well-being, safety and satisfaction. I live by the "Golden Rule " do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I do have a sense of humor, I'm a social butterfly, a great listener and I believe that communication is key.
