About Kathleen

Experience: 10 yrs

I'd describe my personality as loving, dependable, organized. I like caring for seniors because I am making a difference to their lives without making them feel incapable or insignificant. I enjoy hearing their stories. I'm looking for a job that fulfills me. I am making a difference in someone's life or lives. I first started caring for seniors when my mom had cancer. I helped with making sure bills were paid. That mom got to doctor's appointments. Mom passed away in 2001. Then I helped when my father in law was going through dementia and my mother in law needed help. Then after he had passed I helped my mother in law, who at this point had double amputation below the knees. I've helped fiends with their parents by staying with them so they can take a break or travel for work. In my spare time, I like to sew outfits, costumes, quilts, exercising and going on walks. One thing you should know about me is I am strongly devoted. My skills include attentive, observant and caring.

Kathleen is my preferred helper for short term assistance. As a senior, it is important to know that I can count on her to take good care of me in my home and help with special projects. I am very grateful for her reliability, hard work and good judgement. She is cheerful, energetic, and resourceful. In addition to household tasks, she drove me for errands while I was recovering from a hip fracture. She previously helped me sort, pack and organize for a downsizing move. I highly recommend Kathleen for her caregiving and household management skills.
