About Karressa

Caregiver with 6 years of formal experience both in home and at facilities (assisted living and memory care). I have primarily specialized in Alzheimer's and Dementia. I have experience with other health issues such as Parkinson's, Diabetes, Neuropathy, M. S. and Stroke. I have cared for many patients with swallowing difficulties, limited or no mobility, vision difficulties, hearing difficulties, limited or no speech and wounds. I can assist with medication, bathing, incontinence, dressing, feeding and all other ADL's. I firmly believe that socialization and dignity is key. I spend a great deal of time one on one with patients engaging them in activities that they enjoy. I can also provide other services such as meal prep, cleaning, shopping, organization and transportation to appointments, if needed. I have references upon request.

I am a great caregiver because I've started taking care of my grandparents at a young age. I was always the type of person to want to help someone. I began after high school, I attended Gateway Technical College and completed the nursing assistant program. I currently work as a cna through a company called right at home. I assist the elderly with bathing, preparing meals, and etc. I am bilingual and very outgoing person. I get along with pretty much everyone. I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping people because thats something that not everyone can do.
