About Karen

Hi. My name is Karen Savage. I am a 55-year-old, white, single female. My 2 sons are grown and on their own, serving in the military. I love what I do...helping people, especially the elderly. I am a Christian lady, and I have been a caregiver, both private/hired by families; and through agencies for over 5 years. All my client's families think of me as an extended family member. Each day is filled with new opportunities. I feel blessed to care for others and help make their day a little brighter. I have rave reviews from all the people I have helped over the years. Most have departed this world into the loving arms of Jesus. Otherwise, I would still be with them, and them with me. But, I know in my heart, we all made each other laugh a little, cry a little, and smile a little. How blessed I am to be able to do this as a career. It brings such great satisfaction helping others, who become great friends. Consider giving me a call at 281.854.7112 to chat with me. I'll give you some references, you can call and talk to people in person, who can attest to what great service I provide. Wishing the best. Karen Savage
