About Karla

Experience: 5 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

For the last 5 years I have worked several nights a week caring for 2 ladies (ages 95 and 100) in their home. Due to mobility issues/fall risks and dementia/ Alzheimer's concerns, their family hired caregivers to stay with them 24/7. It was important to them, and to us caregivers, that these special ladies spend the last year's of their lives comfortably in their own home. As a night shift caregiver, I was responsible for ensuring that medications were taken and assisted in dressing/bathing before bed. I stayed alert at night to help with bathroom needs, transferring to/from bed, bathroom, wheelchair, etc. Of course general companion care was a big part of the job as well! This year both of these amazing ladies passed away, and I am now looking for another senior who could use some part time evening/nighttime help. I do work full time days, so my availability is from approximately 7pm-7 a.m. with slight flexibility. If you would like to discuss your senior care needs please message m

Karla worked for our family for about 5 years, taking care of my great aunt several nights a week and occasionally days as needed. When my grandmother began to have health/mobility issues as well we moved her in with my great aunt so both could have 24/7 care in familiar surroundings. Karla had no issues taking on the additional work. She developed wonderful relationships with both of our "ladies", and we always felt safe leaving them in her care. She logged daily events/issues and communicated any concerns to both us and the other caregivers as needed. Karla even helped customize care needs when issues arose; she purchased foam and made a chair pad to help combat my aunts bed sores, and brought us a video monitor setup to use when grandma started getting out of bed and falling at night. Needless to say she was an amazing caregiver whom we highly recommend, and although both ladies passed away this past year I know they would have written her stellar reviews as well!
