About Kathy

I have a great sense of humor, am easy going and easy to get along with, and pay attention to details. I am a motivated, self starter that requires minimal guidance and little to no supervision to help my clients succeed. I have a passion to care for those in the end of life stages and that is what drew me to start my studies to become a nurse on day. I was a late bloomer, but found my passion when I became a caregiver four years ago. Families are busy today and often need someone reliable, like myself, to help tend to their loved ones needs when they cannot be there.

I am a compassionate person who listens for someone that may feel like they don't have and need at the time. I try my best to be a good friend to my clients and make them feel understood, respected, I am a very approachable person who loves to listen and get to connect with the clients. I am a caregiver but I also become good friends with the clients who can be truly comfortable with me. Enjoyment of my job as a caregiver is to know that I can make a true positive impact that provides the client with a happy outcome that even the families of the client can see. I have achieved many things in my life that does not provide a certificate for. Having a family that cares and wants the best for me.

I'm an easy going open minded type of person. Always trying to see the positive in a situation. I pride myself as to always being on time, if not early to a job. I am compassionate towards all living things. I enjoy hearing stories and listening to people reminisce , whether they be young or old. I have many years of experience in the healthcare field and enjoys new opportunities. My own personal achievement is my son. Raising him to be a strong, loving , responsible human being for his wife and future children
