About Kerry

To be a caregiver, one must have patients, compassion, empathy and a caring loving heart to work in this field. I consider myself blessed to have these gifts to use in caring for your loved one. Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, I had the privilege of growing up around the elderly. Especially my grandmother and her friends. It gave me a heart and compassion to want to work with the elderly and to know I was making a difference in their lives, making them feel safe, and cared for. My 6 years of experience and excellent references will prove to you, that I have all the skills and abilities to take care of your loved one with quality and professionalism. I have had CNA training and obtained my license through the state of WA back in 2011. However, because most of my "private care" employers did not require a license, I let my license lapse. However, this past year I have been certified as a WA state HCA (Home Care Aid) and obtained my license in August. I also want to mention here that I have attended Mt. Hood Community College for my preq's for the nursing program and I am pursing enrollment into the nursing program in the near future. Therefore, If you are looking for a caregiver whom you can trust, one who has excellent references and is highly qualified to take care of your loved one, please consider me to be at the top of your list to interview.

I have had years of experience as the care giver to my adult mentally challenged son. He is 43 years old. I've also had months of experience as live-in care to a friend after a serious motorcycle accident. I've also had over 40 different clients with CareLinx over the last two years. In all cases I handled all aspects of care including: medication, meals, pain management and wound/dressing care, doctors appointments and communication, wheelchair transfer, housekeeping and companionship. I'm a natural caregiver, honest, dependable and mature. At this point in my life, people have become the most important factor and I'd like to use my natural gifts to the best of my abilities.
