Saint Xavier University

Hi, my name is Kate. I was born in Ukraine. I understand caring for people as you would wish for yourself in a high degree. I am educated and have history of working with special needs. This practice allowed me to follow social cues and heightened my compassion for people. Hope to be a positive light in your home.

I am a very empathetic and hard working nurse. I've love to take care of people since I was a kid. Taking care of people is my passion. I have been employee of the mmm onthe several times!

I am a very compassionate person and anything that I do I give it my all. I'm studying at Saint Xavier University and I'm taking a minor in Gerontology which is the Study of Aging. That really bought interest to me and I would love to work with the elderly as I complete my Bachelors and Start my Masters in Gerontology. I am a very patient person and have great communication skills. I love communicating to people and just getting to know them really interest me. My grandfather is 86 and I would care for him for example drive him to the grocery store or just grabbing ice cream is what he really likes to do. I would cook for him and clean the house up for him when my uncle was at work. My aunt stays with him but she is deaf and mute so it can be hard for her at times. I enjoy helping both of them when needed.

I'm a patient and understanding person who gravitated to being a caregiver after my parents had gotten sick. I always felt that all people have a responsibility to the elderly and children and I have worked with both but feel that there isn't enough being done to help the elderly.

I love providing home care giver services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoyed helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients’ lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. Ask any current Caregivers why they do it, and the answer is bound to be the same: because it’s one of the most rewarding things a person can do. That said, such reward is always the outcome of care giving, but never the motivator behind choosing to do it. People become Caregivers because they have a passion for putting others first. Seeing someone with an intellectual disability able to lead a happy, safe and fulfilling life is enough to make it all worthwhile. In essence, it’s about making small changes to your everyday life to make major beneficial changes to someone with an intellectual disability. Seeing them respond to their new environment – and the care and love that shapes it - provokes a feeling that must be experienced to be believed. And there’s simply no reward quite like watching the smile emerge and hearing their laughter. I always give 100% and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. If I can add a smile or laugh to a client’s day, that means a lot to me

I enjoy forming a therapeutic relationship with clients based on mutual trust and respect. I enjoying assisting client's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs through my knowledge and skills. I'm proud of ending my day knowing I helped someone wholeheartedly.
