About Kathleen

Compassionate (Hugs and Hand Holding); Industrious (I can fix just about anything); Creative (Your Family, Your Flexible Solutions). An avid DIY'er, I can take on just about any home and caregiving task. I am a college-educated, mature and creative mom of 4 seeking to return to part-time caregiving. I have worked as a concierge and CNA in a rehabilitation/long-term care facility; now, more than ever, I am on a mission to help families find alternative care solutions as our parents age.

Some of my personal traits and being a caregiver is my love for the job. I have always love to help people regardless of the situation and there is a shortage on good people and honest people. What attracted me to being a caregiver was my great grandmother and my mom. When my great grandmother got very ill we took care of her until her last days that meant feeding bathing changing colostomy bag changing catheter And just being a companion. I also help my mom take care of a autistic girl for five years. The thing I love most about being a caregiver is the people you meet along the way and a wonderful stories you hear. When I look at my mother I know one day she may or may not be in a situation to need me so I want plenty of practice along the way. One of my biggest achievement was graduating from the phlebotomy school last year. My other biggest achievement is continuing to take care of my special needs son and my other job while balancing out life and everything around me
