About Kate

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello, since moving to Springfield I have had the pleasure in caring for a lovely Army veteran who had Parkinson's, partially blind and also suffered from dementia. I was his shadow' in that I was always with him to prevent any falls. I also took him to appointments, ran errands and outside walks in his wheelchair., I also made sure he took his meds when needed as well as meal prep and bathroom help. I also took care of a kind and gentle 89 year young woman who sadly had cancer. I helped with her meds and feedings thru a stomach tube. We would take walks weather permitting and exercised daily, I also helped with her bathroom needs. Sadly, they both have passed away. I now find myself looking for a senior caretaking position. I pride myself in attention to detail and have a great deal of compassion. I'm very personable, college educated and have a myriad of interests. You can be sure your loved will be in capable and loving hands in my care.

Kate was such a blessing to our whole family and especially to my mother. We wanted to keep my 89 year old mother in her home as her health was failing and Kate made it possible. Always full of encouragement and willing to help my mother in any way, Kate’s cheerful personality lifted my mom’s spirits every day she was there. Kate was always on time for her job, was organized and so very thoughtful. Needless to say, I highly recommend her for senior help!
