About Kathryn

My Oma (grandmother) was diagnosed with Alzheimer in 2015 , at that time I moved in with her to begin helping around the home. I have never felt such happiness more than helping her threw her changes. We both grew and learner so much together. I mostly have a boring old customer service history, but want to bring joy and satisfaction of life to another person , cooking ,cleaning , enjoying old TV shows, hearing about their first love from the summer of '46. I love the time I was able to spend with my Oma , caring for older and handicap-able is what I have found that I really love.
