About Kathleen

I have always cared for people. When I was a young mother, I took in foster children, and, when I had elderly family, I took care of them. I treat my patients with respect and dignity. I have been asked many times if my patient was my loved one, (mother, grandmother, etc). I like being able to make my own days and hours, and, when I have a regular schedule, I keep it. One day a week I volunteer at Vitas Hospice. I am always prompt and ready to work when I arrive. One of my personal achievements is that my patients and their families treat me like family and ask me questions about different issues, respecting my knowledge. I worked in the Medical Field for the University of Miami for about 30-years and I have a lot of medical knowledge about illness and medications.

    I have two clients: The first one I work with for 12-hours a week. She has Alzheimers. I do the laundry, prepare meals, give her showers, help her with dressing and grooming. I engage her in conversation, play music she remembers, and keep her occupied. I also take her to the hairdresser and nail salon. I also do light housekeeping. The gentleman I work with two days a week is for shower visits after failed knee surgery. I help him shave, shower, get dressed, place medicated pads on him, clean the bathroom, make the bed, and put his underclothes away.

    A great caregiver is someone that able to understand the meaning of the word care and giver. Caring for someone else other than yourself, it's giving all that you would want for yourself, to be treated with love, tenderly, and a lot of respect. I love been a caregiver, it gives me the opportunity to give back all the blessings that God has blessed me and my family. Life is so beautiful, sharing life with someone else in a loving and caring way is my best achievement. I have been a caregiver for over 17 years, I have an education background in nursing, I am a mother of 4 adult children, I've spent five years caring for mother, which pass away with cancer on 2007. Giving the best tender loving care to your loves one is and will always be my first priority.
