About Kate

I am kind, clever, curious and responsible Caring for seniors is so interesting because they have experienced so much of life and the world. I love hearing accounts and details of what life and society was like before life as I know it. Making a difference, and building connections with people and community is important to me. I really discovered the importance of this work while taking care of my 93-year-old friend and neighbor. His kids live far away. They worry, He worries. It started gradually, checking in every day, I was added as an emergency contacts, I communicate with his kids, I took care of him after he fell, He really needed more care and a lot more time afterwards. So I began cooking and tidying, taking care of his cat, and other tasks. And importantly, spending extra time with him when he's feeling down or unwell. It's such a beautiful, mutually beneficial exchange of care. I would like to share that with others.
