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.

I'm a very positive thinker I'm easily to get along with I love people and I love to see people happy. I always knew I wanted to help people and as I grew older this is the type of work I always wanted to do, is to take care of people, I have a big heart and I'm very compassionate towards everybody and anybody.. What I enjoy most of caregiving is I love to see people happy and comfortable in their home environment.
