Hello! I am a loving mom, daughter, artist, gardener, death doula and caregiver! I am an experienced care worker and death doula (a caring end of life support), who has worked intimately with both elders and adults with disabilities. I also cared for my mom for 2+ years and worked with young people in the field of art education for 20+ years. Through this work I came to believe deeply in everyone's inherent beauty, value, joy and autonomy. I treat my elders as well as youth with the same dignity, thoughtfulness, humor, respect and kindness that each of us deserves. I look forward to working with you to see how I can support your specific needs and interests! :) Thanks so much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!
Katherine has a friendly and energetic way of connecting that was stimulating for our aunt and uncle who both suffer from dementia. She developed a trusting and supportive relationship with them. She communicated positively and let us know about problems promptly. Katherine was very helpful with keeping up with their prescription medications, and she provided transportation to their doctors appointments. She collaborated with neighbors and other people who supported our aunt and uncle. She also accommodated the schedule of a second caregiver that we hired when additional care was needed. She brought baked goods and fruit that delighted our aunt’s pallet. She was also thoughtful about suggesting approaches for solving issues and she is continuing to help with the transition to memory care in a residential facility.
