Hi. I am dependable and love to have fun with kids. I love kids to be themselves and to enjoy life. I took care of a 56-year-old man who has Epilepsy. He has seizure attacks a lot of times and I make sure that he take his medication, meals, took him to his doctor appointments, shower, light housekeeping and laundry. Also, I cared for someone who is a diabetic. She needs an insulin shot daily and medication given to her. I cared for a boy who has extensive injury to his left eye and eyelid. Also, I took care for my son that had extensive soft tissue injury to his face and head. He has had 52 surgeries and so far I've learned suction, feeding tube, dressing changes, skin care and wound care. A hospital university trained me in 2008 how to care for my son. Now he is able to go to school and I can go to work to help someone else. Being a caregiver is my gift, my passion.

    Kimberly is an incredible caregiver. She has been working for us for over two years and she has provided excellent care of our special needs daughter who is cognitively impaired and has a seizure disorder. She is loving, caring, thoughtful , trustworthy and she is always in a good mood. She will do things without being asked because she knows they need to be done. She is prompt and very dependable. Our daughter loves seeing her come and they have a great time together. When my mother-in-law was ill she came pitches in to help with her as well. Making sure she was dry and turning her to avoid bed sores. She has been a God send for us and a true angel for my daughter, in so many ways.
