About Karrie

I am a 46 year old single independent woman. I wasn't lucky enough to have children so I have dedicated my life to helping those who cannot help themselves. My grandmother said I was an angel and that is why I'm so good at what I do. I am very friendly and I can always make your loved one laugh. I am always smiling and have a heart of gold. I am very loyal and dedicated. I too have had both my grandfathers serve our country and my uncle still works for the Marines. I would be honored to help any family and help make their lives easier.

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is the experience I have. I have 5 years experience working for an agency and independently. I have significant experience with hospice care, dementia, Alzheimers , Parkinson's, COPD, cancers, companion care and the general everyday care of those that can't do things for themselves anymore like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and showers. I always keep medical books in the homes of my clients/patients. On every shift I always take blood pressure , temperature and oxygen so that Vitals can be monitored regularly for any changes. The medical books will keep logs of daily living such as any Dr appointments, mood changes, medications, vitals, daily diet and activities. It's important to catch/detect any change in health. Communication is big with me on keeping everyone on the same page so that the best care can be given at all times. I'm a registered health care aid, . CPR/First Aide certified. I became a health care aide because I believe our loved ones get better care at home from one on one care opposed to a nursing home.
