About Kara

At the age of six my father who was my only living parent had a massive stroke. From them till the age of 13 my brother and I cared for him in the in all areas of showering, toileting ,giving him his diabetic shots, fingersticks, and medication. From a young age I knew the significant of being a caretaker, and the compassion and understanding it would have on others who I might care for in the future. I come from a long line of men and women in the medical field. My mother at 33 was the president of respiratory therapy at a Paris Texas hospital my father at the time was LVN . I have two sisters that are RN's. We love what we do and I care for others as they are my family.

I become interested in caring for people at a young age. I have a aunt that is handicap and is non mobile and watching my grandmother care for her is want made me want to care for others. Seeing how people need help with their love ones and can't because of many reasons and needing outside help and being blessed to help a family out is rewarding to me since I don't have my parents or grandparents to care for. I come from a large family of 7 sisters born and raised around Springer and Ardmore. I have 3 grown children and 9 grandbabies. I have worked in group homes, nursing facilities. I chose to work 1 on 1 because of the connection and bonding with them.

I am a 38 yr old mother to one child. I enjoy working with patients in need because at the end of the day I have this amazing feeling that is so rewarding. I deeply care about my patients and making sure their needs are fulfilled each day that I see them! I always assure my patients that I'm just a phone call away day or night and whether I'm on the clock or off the clock. They're very important to me. The feeling of helping someone in areas they cannot maintain themselves or need some assistance with is such a rewarding feeling! I enjoy prepping meals and making patients happy in their own homes and helping them to feel the best they can! I am familiar with dealing with dementia, hard of hearing, and blind patients as well as bathing patients with special needs such as covering dialysis ports, etc to make sure they don't get wet during showering. Caregiving is not just a job to me...It is a personal one on one experience that is unique to each patient!
