About Katharine

Taking care of people has always been what I wanted to do in life. As a child I'd watch my mom leave for work in her "cool" uniform and I couldn't wait to hear about her "friends". I remember thinking I was gonna do that one day. At the age of 15 yrs. I got my 1st job at a nursing home and found that this is exactly what I want to do! I've learned so much through the years just listening to their life stories. I enjoy spending time with them and seeing them smile/happy is the greatest gift I could receive.

I have worked as a caregiver for over twenty five years. Starting out with an agency that I worked with for seven years. I then went on to work at a school for children with developmental disabilities. I was also there for seven years. I went on to work as an independent caregiver for a man for eleven years until his death. I am currently working with a ninety year old female who is suffering with Dementia. I have been with her two years next month. She is being placed in a memory care facility soon. Every one that I have worked for has been happy with my service and will provide recommendations upon request. I think some people are just natural caregivers. It is what I enjoy most. I am compassionate, patient, and willing to do what ever is necessary to provide safety, and comfort. I treat clients the same way I hope to be treated someday as a senior.
