About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

I went to nursing school to receive my RN license in the 70's and only worked a couple of years until I had my children. I went back to school at UCLA to receive my MBA after my children were grown and I then worked for an Oil company for 35 years. At that time I was delegated to be the medical officer for Emergency Preparation for my company and was elected to the City of Los Angeles to be on the Mayors Committee. I moved to Oak Harbor 18 years ago to take care of my mother who was under Palliative Care. I have been a home care nurse administrating meds, physical therapy, hygiene care, and palliative and hospice nursing for the last 10 years. I prefer to work one on one with my client instead a large group environment. I'm looking for a client that I can offer my years of experience and education and a kind heart. I love working with the elderly but am willing to take on clients with Alzheimer, dementia and even handy cap children. My licenses include RN, HCA, CPR and First Aid.

Most recent review

Karen works for me at a non-profit. She volunteers every Wednesday at our store and is a great help to our organization. She is efficient, great with customers, and a super team player. Karen is kind and caring person and would make a great caregiver.
