About Katherine

I have had past experience helping to care for my mother and father in law years ago as they aged and became more dependent on others for care. I also cared and helped manage the care of my own parents until their passing. My mother suffered from Alzheimer's and depression, so she required bathing, dressing and meal prep along with handling filling and administering her prescription medications. My father had diabetes and had kidney failure and had dialysis 3x a week until he eventually underwent a kidney transplant and then retained more independence until his passing at age 83. This required filling and administering his medications and meal preparation. Also supervised other in home care employees that the family employed.

I became an Independent Contractor/ Caregiver because I want to leave each life that I touch better than when we first met. I want to make a difference, to make things better, to heal the hurt and to calm the fears of my patients and their families. One of my personal achievements that I am very proud of, is that I go above and beyond for my patients. I am a very caring, loving and sympathic to my patient's needs.

As a caregiver, my nurturing nature and patience are my strongest personality traits. I've always been drawn to caregiving because I find fulfillment in helping others and making a positive impact on their lives. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is forming meaningful connections with those I care for and being able to provide them with comfort and support. One personal achievement I'm proud of is successfully helping a client regain their independence after a challenging recovery process, knowing that I played a part in their journey towards wellness.
