Experience: 1 yr
I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with a heart for serving others, especially seniors and their families during meaningful and often challenging seasons of life. After recently walking alongside my own mother through her journey with cancer, I've developed an even deeper understanding of the importance of patience, dignity, and the small acts of care that make a big difference each day. Her wish was to stay out of a nursing home and remain in her home where she was most comfortable. I bring a calm, supportive presence and take pride in helping with everyday tasks such as companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and general assistance to make life easier and more comfortable. I believe in treating every individual with respect, kindness, and genuine care; just as I would my own family. I also have experience working with mentally challenged adults, where I've provided compassionate care, daily living support, and a safe, respectful environment.
Received a referral to use Kate for transportation to a doctor appointment on 5/1. She showed up on time, assisted with getting in and out of the car and assisted with my check in. After the appointment, asked if I needed any errands completed during our time. Safe driver, clean car and it was nice to not worry about navigating downtown Des Moines by myself.
