My name is Karen, and I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) since 2003. With over 20 years of experience in caregiving, I specialize in providing compassionate care for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's. Caring for others is not just my profession-it's who I am. I believe in treating every person the way I would want someone to care for my own family. As a five-year breast cancer survivor, I know the importance of patience, empathy, and strength. I currently help care for my 83-year-old father at home, and I've been providing care to loved ones since I was young, including my grandmother before she passed. These experiences have shaped my deep commitment to helping others live with dignity, love, and respect. I am a people person by nature, with a warm personality and a positive outlook on life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my cat, Maurice, and my family. I also have a strong love for animals. Helping people isn't just something I do-it's who I am.
