About Kimberly

Hi Everyone! My name is Kimberly Hightower and I have been in the caregiving industry since 2012. I have worked with a plethora of elderly individuals as well as special needs persons. I initially got into caregiving because I always had a special place for caring for people, especially the elderly population. When I was a child, my Great Aunt was a caregiver and she would take me to some of her clients homes and I would watch her care for the elderly; and at a young age I grew a passion for it. What make me a great caregiver is that I simply love what I do. I take pride in the services that I provide to every client that I work with. I always go the extra mile to make sure my client is taken care of and comfortable on my watch. My compassion and attention to detail make me the great caregiver that I am today. I was inspired to become a caregiver by my Great Aunt and also my passion for helping people. What I love about my line of work is the fact that I get to meet new people and learn their stories. I love the intimate, one-on-one interaction I get to have with my clients as well. It's nice to come together and make a bond with someone in need. A personal achievement I am most proud of would have to be completing two certificates I started on in 2015. When I finished that I felt like I was capable of achieving anything in my life.

I am a student studying Occupational Therapy who is interested in working with older adults. While I was completing my undergraduate degree, I worked part-time as a CNA at a long-term care facility for 3 years and I absolutely loved the experience. I genuinely enjoy working with the older adult population. I feel that there is a lot I learn from the stories and life experiences that older adults have. I am currently only taking classes a few days a week which gives me some extra time to pick up a caregiver/companion job. I am caring, patient, easygoing, and responsible and I hope you will consider me to be yours or your loved one's caregiver!
