About Katina

I am geat person, with a amazing personality I have golden heart love hard, I can get along with almost anyone. I'm very outgoing hard working. Most people tell me no matter what may be going on I'm always wearing a smiling that is true. Life is to short to wear your heart on your sleeve. It's good to encourage uplift others. In 2004 my father n law call asked me would like to care and watch for his brother n law he wasn't doing to good in health wise, his wife was a school teacher, couldn't do it alone, they had a nurse also who would come and do there duties to. I'd watch as she did her job to get a few pointers and learn different skills. As I went to work every day I started to love my job more the bonding and listening to the clients you learn so much seeing the glow on there faces and smile gives you reassure that everything is good ok..when he passed I continue on making caregiving my career it's my passion I love it and wouldn't trade it for the world..
