About Katrena

I love caring for people. I have been a caregiver the majority of my life. Along with working as a caregiver currently, I was my maternal grandmothers caregiver while she had Alzheimer's until she passed in November 2015. I then became a caregiver to my paternal grandmother who had liver cancer for a few months until she passed in November of 2016. I have taken care of or been a companion of many others for over 20 years. I like giving back and helping those that are unable to help themselves. I treat my clients and take care of them like they are my family. I like to talk about just about anything and love to hear about their lives. I enjoy seeing a smile on their faces because they have someone to talk to and listen to them and help them.

Hi.I has been working as a housekeeper for a long time, so keeping the house tidy for the senior needs will be a plus. In my past senior care giver jobs I drived a lot: appointments, errands, or just to visit a friend or family. I can travel with the client or just help with traveling arrengement. I love to cook and can almost cook anything. Im a very good listener and love a good story about old times. I can manage time efficiently and I'm a very good organizer. I will communicate with the family if there's any concerns occurring in the client daily life. Love to accompany in wals, excersicing, watching movies, or any other entertainment that isn't extreme (like skydiving). I also speak Spanish, and understand Portuguese.I like pets (dogs also if they don't try to bite me) and can walk the pets.

I love helping my elders and seeing them smile. I used to go to the nursing home a family member was in and think I wanted to be one of those people that help people. The interaction from my clients. Going to college.
