About Kim

Growing up I watched my aunt who was a mother to me, take care of her mother (my Grandmother) at home until her passing at 100 years old. I also enjoyed having fun laughing and talking to my Grandma we made each others day. That's why I became interested in becoming a caregiver. I really like being a caregiver because it's such a rewarding and fulfilling experience to help others in their time of need. I can only hope that if I am ever in need of assistance that I will be fortunate enough to have someone who enjoys helping other as I do, to take care of me. One of my personal achievements that I am most proud of is that I took care of my aunt at home full-time for the last 12 years of her life until her passing at 101 years old, because she never wanted to go to a Nursing Home. I have been a Caregiver/ Companion for over 20 years now. However, I believe some of the qualities that make me a great caregiver is that i'm dedicated to my job, have patience with others, responsible, compassionate, honest, trustworthy, loyal,professional, respectful and enjoy good conversation and a good laugh. For me being a caregiver is as normal as breathing...And I like to do that!

My journey into Home Health, Hospice and Caregiving started unexpectedly and quite personally. My then 16-year old daughter was diagnosed with a very rare malignant brain tumor. Fast forward 21 years. Although I enjoyed a very successful career as an IT Consultant, it was not emotionally satisfying. I am a caregiver at heart. I have cared for a young woman, now a young adult since her diagnosis with muscular dystrophy as a child. This is on an as-needed basis and she now enjoys independence in her own home. Working with my elderly families has been extremely rewarding. And caring for someone in their final season of life is something God put me on this earth to do. I raise an amazing teen granddaughter and she keeps me young at heart. Her love for pets keeps me on my toes with her two dogs, one cat and Waldo - her turtle. I am enrolling in the WINGS program and will receive my Certified Nursing Assistant(CNA)/Home Health Aide Certification in fall of 2020. This will be immediately followed by their Medication Management Certification program. Although I have performed in these roles and more for two decades, I have only recently decided to accomplish these Certifications. *Note, Any overnight, weekend or holiday shifts will be on an exception basis only*
