About Karen

I have been a caregiver for the past 20 hrs. And I absolutely love carding for the Elderly. I volunteered at The Season's in East Greenwich in the Alsheimer's unit and became good friend's with the Director of that init (Carol Hutchison)when a new resident would move from their home into The Seaon's some would have a more difficult time to the adjustment and that's where I would be involved. I would help keep the quality in their lives in doing things with them that made them happier. (Taking them for a ride to the beach on a picnic or out to lunch or dinner. I ever traveled with them on trips.Whatever the situation was I would try to make them content and happy. I would also do personal care with bathing,cooking meals making sure they were clean and well dressed. I also sat with them read played cards and was a good friend! I sincerely love the elderly and find older people VERY interesting. it's a wonderful feeling knowing that you make a difference and warms my heart in a special way!! I take pride in what I do and I am honest and trustworthy and DEPENDABLE!! I have outstanding references.
