About Karen

I enjoy taking care of others or just giving them a little extra help or listening to them if they have a problem or something they need to discuss. I have plenty exspirence caring for patients with alzheimers. It all come to the fact that I love to be around people. I know as a professional I shouldn't get too attached to my clients but most of the time I just can't help it. I wrote a poem for a husband and his wife which was read later at her funeral and the family liked it so much that they also had it printed on a quilt. I'm a little silly at times but also know when it's time to be serious and take care of business. It is a privilege to serve others. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

I assist with all daily living (can be modified to fit your personal requests and needs such as transportation, light meal prep, cleaning house, and even taking care of pets or children with no additional pay). Such as dressing, safely transferring from one part of the house to another, showers, baths, bed bathes if immobile, changing and assistance in the restroom, assist with feeding, or simply being a companion. I do it all. From 3 to 6 different people at the same time efficiently. I have very special and personal relationships with all of my residents and they know that I truly have a special place in my heart. I love my job all the way down to the dirty. Please don't hesitate to call or text me if you have any concerns whatsoever any time of the day. I'm always available.
