About Kerry

To be a caregiver, one must have patients, compassion, empathy and a caring loving heart to work in this field. I consider myself blessed to have these gifts to use in caring for your loved one. Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, I had the privilege of growing up around the elderly. Especially my grandmother and her friends. It gave me a heart and compassion to want to work with the elderly and to know I was making a difference in their lives, making them feel safe, and cared for. My 6 years of experience and excellent references will prove to you, that I have all the skills and abilities to take care of your loved one with quality and professionalism. I have had CNA training and obtained my license through the state of WA back in 2011. However, because most of my "private care" employers did not require a license, I let my license lapse. However, this past year I have been certified as a WA state HCA (Home Care Aid) and obtained my license in August. I also want to mention here that I have attended Mt. Hood Community College for my preq's for the nursing program and I am pursing enrollment into the nursing program in the near future. Therefore, If you are looking for a caregiver whom you can trust, one who has excellent references and is highly qualified to take care of your loved one, please consider me to be at the top of your list to interview.

Hello, I have been doing care giving for 18 years. I started out with my son whom is disabled. The reason I got into this field was mainly my son, but after wards became to love and have a passion for it. There is nothing better then a feeling knowing that the one you love is in good hands and will be taken care of the way you would want them to be taken care of. I am passionate, caring, calm and have a lot of patience's. The one thing I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is the reward knowing that you have helped someone's day be brighter even if it was sitting down having a conversation, or cleaning up. I have worked in Adult Foster Care homes as well as Group homes supporting individuals with mental and developmental disabilities. I have also worked one on one in peoples person homes helping with ADL's meal prep, house cleaning. I started out young house keeping as my mother owned her own business , and I learned from her. I have many years experience in house keeping. However, I know everyone is different and likes things done their way. Show/tell me once and that's all it takes.
