About Catherine

Hi, my name is Catherine. I'm new to the caregiving field, but that doesn't mean I don't have experience. I was my mother's caregiver from 2011 when she broke her hip and they discovered lung cancer during her trip to the ED, to her stroke in 2012, to her recurrent lung cancer in 2013. At that time, I was employees at Bekaert-Deslee textiles in Winston Salem, and stayed on there until 2021. I decided on a career change, and what made me finally decide as a caregiver was the bedside manner of the nurse from hospice that came to our house. She had such a great caring personality, and you could tell it wasn't fake or put-on. If I can give someone even a fraction of what she passed on to us, I would consider myself very blessed, for blessed are the smile-makers
