About Kara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a Registered Nurse with a previous BA degree in English literature from IU. I've been working in senior and palliative care for 15 years primarily doing private care for individual patients and families. I have managed home care for special needs and senior clients coordinating 24 hr care, payroll, scheduling and meal plans. I am BLS and first aid certified, have advanced education in end of life care and several palliative care certifications. I believe in bringing care back in the home and managing care in a more cost effective and interdisciplinary way than an agency can offer.

I hired Kara to assist with a senior day program I run and she was the best employee I had. She never missed a day, thoroughly enjoyed each senior she assisted and has a great energy full of joy and compassion. When she left to do nursing and private care I was sad to lose her but realize this is her calling and support her fully.
