About Kimberly

I became a caregiver as I was attending college courses in the nursing program where I live. Hospital nursing just wasn't for me as I could not look at people as just a bed number and a diagnosis. I have been an in home provider for 26 years now and I love what I do. I am honest, trustworthy, and very attentive to my client's needs. I carry my own business license, bond, and liability insurance. References upon request.

Being an older female, I understand some of the challenges that seniors face as they grow older. I have a very caring nature and maturity to handle the situations that might come up during the time of my scheduled work. I am very dependable and responsible to follow through on commitments that I have made. I like the flexibility that care giving allows, and yet I know that I am making a REAL difference to seniors in allowing them to stay in their homes. I have a reliable vehicle (with insurance) and a clean driving record. I would be open to providing transportation to appointments or events. I am the proud mother of 7 children and three granddaughters. I have good relations with family and friends and know the importance of good emotional health. I have a good outlook on life and am upbeat around others and clients. I enjoy going to the YMCA on weekday mornings to do water aerobics. I am active in my church and enjoying volunteering in missions.
