About Cathy

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your caregiver. With more than 35 years of experience in the medical field, I have provided care in a variety of healthcare settings. My background includes advanced patient care training, and I am a Registered Phlebotomist and Medical Assistant, giving me clinical experience beyond that of a traditional CNA. My passion for caregiving became deeply personal when I cared for my 95-year-old mother for six years. During that time, I experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dependable caregiver. That experience shaped the way I care for every client--with the same patience, respect, and dedication I gave my own mother. I believe every individual deserves to remain as independent, comfortable, and engaged as possible while living in a safe and supportive environment. I strive to provide not only excellent physical care, but also companionship, encouragement, and peace of mind for both my clients and their families. I offer flexible scheduling, including daytime, evening, overnight, weekend, and holiday shifts. Whether you need ongoing assistance, respite care for a family caregiver, or short-term help while recovering from an illness or surgery, I am here to help. I take great pride in being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each client's individual needs. Many of the families I have cared for over the years have come to think of me as part of their family, and there is no greater compliment than the trust they have placed in me. If my care can help you or your loved one remain safely and comfortably at home rather than moving to a skilled nursing facility, it would be my privilege to assist. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you and answer any questions you may have.

I'm a talkative friendly & outgoing person. I am passionate about nursing and health care....especially for the elderly! I went to school to be a nursing assistant when I was in my late 40's because straight out of college I got married (32 years now!) and had two daughters. AFTER the youngest one graduated from high school in 2010, I was then able to pursue my real dream of getting certified to be able to care for clients and hopefully make their lives a bit better!
