About Marcelle

I became a caregiver after seeking employment in different fields became difficult. I loved it immediately. developing that bond with the consumer learning from them, they have so much wisdom. I am proud of myself for returning to school and graduating with honors and achieving my Associates Degree. I have three children and a grandson. I believe in paying it forward, meaning if I care for someone with the best of my ability , someone just might care for me in the same way.

    Hi I prefer Kathy, but you can call me Kathleen. I like to think I am very patient with all types of individuals and am compassionate. I have a strong desire to help people and especially those who are really young or elderly. I am looking to help people in need of care from daily functions and tasks. I have always had a burning desire to help others which is why I studied psychology and counseling. My experience consists of having cared for infants and toddlers. I have also interned at a retirement home where I visited many elderly, engaged them in exercise and activities, and shared stories. I would love the opportunity to care for the elderly. I enjoy listening to stories from them and getting insight into their lives as well as learn life lessons. Caring for someone in need is the most rewarding fulfilling feeling for me.
