About Katie

Hi, My name is Katie. I've been a caregiver for the past 10 years and absolutely love it. It's a passion of mine. I truly believe that everyone should have good quality of life and should be able to live out their last years as comfortable as they can. I love taking care of people, it's what I know. When I'm not being a caregiver, I'm being a mom to my two beautiful kids. In my free time I love to get outside for some fresh air and enjoy a hike when the weather permits. I also enjoy being at home with a cup of coffee and a good book. I like to think that I have a kind heart and compassion for human beings. I don't like seeing people struggle, especially with tasks that are fairly simple, that's why I became a caregiver. To give people the peace of mind that they have someone by their side helping them one step at a time.

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.
