My name is Kimberly. I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but moved to Portland, Oregon in 2014 after the passing of my father. I was my father's caregiver while he was battling cancer, during which time I was very young and still in school. After his passing, I decided I needed a change in scenery and decided to go on a cross-country road trip to Portland; I just wound up deciding to stay here! Since I have been here, I've been working in caregiving. I truly believe that I am one of the best caregivers that anyone could find. I'm compassionate, kind, understanding, flexible and try to support as much independence for all of my residents. I have always and will always be a person that cares for others, whether its at work or with my family. I consistently go above and beyond for any individual that I work for or care for!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
