About Nathaniel

I am inquisitive by nature and observant, and my knowledge of history, trivia, and a myriad of other subjects make of me an excellent conversationalist . From the age of 14 I have served in some capacity or another as care-provider in the home. It started with my brother, as I was asked to care for him by our parents, a task that quickly became a full-time job, though in practicality I never regarded it as such. His care and companionship superseded any form of obligation. After his passing I fell back on my other skill. That of a careful listener. Short of professional, therapeutic advice, I found myself giving counsel to those who needed it most when I was asked and simply paying close attention and giving them time to vent their troubles to a friendly ear. Since moving to Texas, I have taken up minor care duties with my chronically ill fiancee, although she often takes care of me as is the way of things. I enjoy taking care of people and soothing their woes. I am a natural protector, even if that just means protecting my charge from the frustration of putting on a particularly recalcitrant sock. I am proud that I served my brother for so many years and that I was able to provide him with not only decent service but a target for conversation and debate, and it is the skills that I have learned over that long career, both physical and mental, that I hope to bring to the table for you and your loved one.

Kevin James Kage

I was trained to take care of my brother, who was a writer/composer/graphical artist, and spent most of his life in a wheelchair. In his later years he became bedridden due to Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, In 2004 I became a Certified Living Assistant in Madison,Wisconsin, through Community Living Alliance but that certification has since lapsed. I spent most of my time attending to his needs, making sure he got up, if he needed anything I fetched it, I would put him in his wheelchair, and treated/bandaged his wounds. I was employed with him until his passing in 2011.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Health. My personality has always been a love to care for others. Started working in the hospital at age 18. Taught skin care then for 10 yrs. I decided to get a Health degree to teach others how to be healthy. Then I went back to school for nursing. Quality of life is my philosophy. I then went to nursing school after graduation with B S. I love to serve, care for, and help others. It is my nature. I cared for my Grandmother, my mother and my sister through strokes and respiratory illness. Working as a caregiver in the past for patients gives me a sense of fulfilment. I am proud to be able to do so.
