About Kara

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

My name is Kara! I have worked with elderly clients for more than a decade and it's something I'm incredibly passionate about. It started with my great aunt who suffered from Parkinson's disease. I cared for her for years before her passing. I would do activities with her and provide companionship as well as help her stay active. We spent time reading, listening to music, and writing. In college, I was responsible for creating the activities calendar for my local nursing home. Here I was able to create activities to help clients stay mentally sharp while working on mobility skills. My last client was a sweet woman with Parkinson's disease. We spent hours together reading, reminiscing, taking walks, and painting. We were able to make music and art together on our best days! My goal is to find a family I can partner with to provide their loved one with excellent care and attention when they're unavailable. I am willing to get certifications and continued education if necessary.
