About Dorothy

I became a caregiver about 8yrs ago. My fathered suffered a stroke. I became his full time caregiver and it was at this point in my life I knew this is where my career should be. This is what I wanted to do, this is what I knew I had to do. What makes me a great caregiver is empathy. I have so much love and care for my clients. Each of them are treated with dignity and respect. I grow very close with them. My heart is so big for their needs, and I make sure they are met to my capabilities. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Lastly, my most personal achievement I am proud of is, at my last company (just recently moved out of state) I was personally requested by many families.

Hello, I am a middle aged woman with 10 years experience working in a Nursing Home at the beginning of my career, I started at age 14 until 24. I was responsible for all care of 18 women: medicine distribution, cooking meals, bathing, dressing, arts & crafts and communicating. I then spent 15 years at a foster care agency as a family consultant, working directly with children and families in the foster care system. I became a foster parent and ultimately an adoptive parent. Currently, I own Kindred Spirits, a Healing & Art business. I make homemade non chemical bath and beauty products using essential oils, painting, woodwork and am a Reiki Master. My passion is creativity, healing, spreading love & light to others and just being a good listener.
