About Kathryn

I believe I make a great caregiver because I genuinely care about people. I care about the level of care they receive, and I care about them being well taken care of. I believe each person has a right to be happy and taken care of, as a caregiver it is my job to help achieve that. I have always had a caregiver's heart and started volunteering at a hospice service while I was in high school. I then took that love I had for taking care of people and applied it to my education. I have received my CNA and I am working on obtaining my RN. What attracts me most to this line of work is the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone who needed you, and that you help make their life easier.

I'm a great caregiver,because I am patient caring and understanding of the needs of others. The reason I became a caregiver is because I always helped take care of my grand mother she had Alzheimer's before she died,so I know how the elderly need someone loving and caring to help them . I love knowing, at the end of the day I helped put a smile on someone's face by taking care of them and making them feel safe and secure.
