About Karen

I am an easy-going and fun-loving RN with 10 years of experience working with a wide array of populations with various medical needs including mental health and chronic illnesses. I have a calm demeanor and enjoy making a difference in the lives of people I care for and try to make their day brighter, even in simple, small ways, in addition to taking care of their medical necessities. I believe it's important to take care of each individual holistically and not just "treat the diagnoses"

I became a caregiver because I enjoy sharing my time with seniors and I really enjoy helping them with their needs. I worked as a CNA for 13 years in a nursing home, until recently I decided to become a private caregiver. I have been working as a private caregiver for 6 years and really enjoy having a flexible schedule. I'm a very responsible, hard-working, compassionate and reliable person. I strongly believe in the golden rules. On a more personal note, the achievement that I'm most proud of is my family. Being a single mother, I raised 4 children of whom I am very proud of. On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, cooking, and reading.
