About Katherine

My personal reason is, I helped my dad with my mom. She was on hospice for approximately size months or more. Then, after mom passed I helped take care of dad, he passed the following year. I worked in the Sheriff's office for 23 years assisting The nurses I love people and I love taking care of their needs, such as light house keeping, companionship so their not lonely. Every one needs loved and sometimes the elderly are forgotten about. I am working now but I'm driving almost an hour away which is taking time away from my grandchildren that I adopted. Just last week I worked 90 hours., and the week before I put in 65 hours. As you see I'm not afraid of work.
