About KATHERINE KIRBY

I am compassionate about people and always willing to assist. My caregiving experience began with my father who had dementia. I cared for him in my home until he passed away in 2018. After that my mom had several falls which have resulted in me being her caregiver. I try to make sure those I am caring for are surrounded by positive thoughts and do my best to reduce their stress. I'm proud of working for the Cobb School System. I retired 6 years ago after working for 23 years. I assisted elementary age students age 5-10 years old, both in regular and special education.

I appreciate being given the opportunity to contribute to people's quality of life whenever possible. It is always my goal to treat others as I would want to be treated. I am dependable, honest, highly organized and goal-oriented. I have been involved with healthcare systems for over 20 years. I have also worked in caring for the elderly and with individuals who face mental health challenges. I have seen quality care and I have also seen situations where gaps exist and empathy is missing. I appreciate opportunities to stand in the gaps where possible. I am open to discussing anything your family might need help with. Please don't hesitate to ask. I am connected to CareLinx because I want to help.

I am a very empathic and compassionate person. I am a nurturer at heart, and I truly enjoy caring for others. I was drawn to be a caregiver due to growing up having to care for my mother who was paralyzed from the neck down after having a stroke. Due to this experience caregiving has become second nature to me. I enjoy being able to make people smile and laugh as a caregiver as well as seeing people's lives improve overtime. I am proud to say that over a span of over 10 years I have helped many people within the social services field to improve their lives.
