About Mary K.

I have been a Caregiver all my life. When my children were young I ran a Day Care out of my home. When they became teenagers I went back to School and fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. I have worked very closely with people of all ages from Newborn's to Senior Citizens. I am a "local" of Ozaukee County and I am looking for my next assignment to be within Ozaukee County, WI.

I became a caregiver as a young child. Helping my cousin, Brian, who had Downs Syndrome, overcome fears and succeed made me deeply happy. I worked my way through college as a live-in caregiver, and relived the joy I had as a young girl helping Brian love life. If I had to give one reason that sets me apart as a caregiver, it is this -- love making others feel safe, content, happy, and challenged. By that, I mean motivated to overcome problems and feel hopeful once again. Overall, I have been caregiving for 15+ years (except for the 20 years I taught school), and I give God the credit for placing the love and compassion in my heart for those who are suffering. When I help others, then I am happy.

I am a caring, patient, loving, and compassionate caretaker. My deepest desire is to serve others by meeting their physical need. I am a good listener and love to be a companion for both the young and old. I think that being a care taker is one of the best and most needed jobs. Their are so many individuals who previously have experienced a full and independent life, but are unable to now due to a disease or illness. My desire is to come along side of those who are in need in order to improve their quality of daily life. My favorite part about caregiving is the the when I can see someones quality of life improve just by being there, loving them, and coming along side of them. I am proud of the many grateful smiles and "thank you's" I have received from different patients over the past few years. Being a nursing student, spending hundreds of hours serving others, and many more hours studying in order to give patients the best possible care has been one of my greatest achievements.
