About Karla

Hello my name is Karla, I have been a caregiver since 1998. Besides caregiving I also have a love for animals, dogs, cats, horses, etc. I live on a small farm in Vader. I knew I wanted to be a caregiver when I was 16, my grandfather moved in with us and we hired hospice to help us care for him. I was in awe of the help we recieved from these wonderful ladies. I worked in a hospital for 20 years. I started out in housekeeping then went to school to recieve my Certified Nurses Aide certificate for Washington state. I have worked in many aspects for the hospital from babies to hospice, emergency room to recovery. I choose to do in home health care when I moved to Vader. I enjoy in home caregiving because I get to meet very interesting clients and families. I enjoy the slower pace of caring for a client one on one. From bathing, playing games, Dr appointments, cooking and cleaning their homes. I am happy to do what it takes to keep your family member safe and happy in their home environment.

Hi, my names Christina I've been a caregiver for about 2 years. I first found my passion for caregiving working in an Adult Family Home working with Adults with Developmental Disabilities, I then moved on and got my Home Care Aid License and started working with Eldery Adults in their homes. I've worked with a variety of clients ranging with needs of light housekeeping and companion care to clients on Hospice. I have a very bubbly and warm personality, you'll rarely find me without a smile on my face. I'm a compassionate and caring Caregiver. I'm neat and tidy, I'm self motivated, and timely. I would love the opportunity to meet with your family to see if my caregiving style and experience meets you or your families needs. **I live in Vader but am willing to travel up to 35 miles
