As far back as I can remember, I have had a heart for elderly and impaired people. Good thing because, I have had the privilege of being the sole parent, advocate and caregiver for my son who has Asperger's. He is now 27 years old, and he is doing well. Currently, I am working part-time as a caregiver for an adult woman who has significant developmental cognitive delays. Previously, I have worked with a disabled senior, providing home care services, transport to doctor appointments, grocery shopping, light cooking, housekeeping and friendship. During my years as a Realtor and Professional Organizer, I often helped elderly folks transition to senior living. I am patient, upbeat, compassionate, respectful, reliable, honest and good humored! A "young" and healthy 67-year-old! Excellent references. P. S. Lately, I have been getting a lot of requests from families who reside in Philly. I do not work in Philadelphia. It is too far to travel for my type of work. :) Thank you! Katherine

    Katherine is a truly compassionate and caring person. She helps me look after my developmentally disabled sister, and has always gone above and beyond just the 'responsibilities' of the job, in order to develop and maintain a real relationship with her. She is the best!
