About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

I began my career as a Recreation Therapist working at Alvarado convalescent hospital and UCSD psychiatric hospital. Later on I got my teaching credential and taught elementary school. Throughout my career I have worked with a variety of populations including seniors, mentally challenged, and special needs children. 10 years ago my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I took care of him the last 3 years of his life. I am an extremely calm, patient, and compassionate person. I am very responsible, organized, and dependable. My goal is to lighten your caretaking load and provide your loved one with excellent care.
