About Catherine

I am currently a second semester senior at Salve Regina University in the nursing program. I have been a CNA since I graduated high school almost 4 years ago. I have also had clinical experiences throughout college which has fiurther heightened my passion for being a caregiver. I would describe myself as compassionate and empathetic. I truly enjoy my time with the clients and patients I have spent time with and gotten to know. I have found that seniors/the elderly are a population that I feel particularly drawn to. I feel that I can learn so much from listening and being present with people, especially those who have lived different experiences than me in a different time period. I like connecting with those I care for, but I mostly enjoy helping those who need it. I would love the opportunity to provide care for someone in my last semester of college.

I'm a very caring individual that likes to help the elderly in need. Starting when My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2017. I helped my mom with care for him. I saw it through with hospice where he passed at home in 2018. I enjoy the one on one care with the other person, getting to know their needs and Interests makes it a fun and engaged atmosphere to make them as comfortable as possible. I'm glad to say that I've helped the person I care for to engage in more exercise In going up and down the stairs , slowly , but she did it instead of using her chair Lift! She felt better about herself for her ability to work on her knee issues! She did great! I was very pleased that she went up and down the stairs on her own, with my Guidance of course, but she succeeded in applying herself in some good exercise! I'm currently available on Monday , Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Friday mornings /afternoons. Hours available between 9-2. Available every other Sunday 9-2
