Bringing a decade of experience as a Licensed Practising Nurse, I'm passionate about well-being and independence in adults and seniors. My goal is to make a positive impact on their lives, while also supporting their families with reliable care. I offer respite care, transportation, and assistance with errands, personal care, light housekeeping, and meal preparation. I'm known for my patient, compassionate, and friendly approach. Building trust is essential to me. I adapt to changing routines, de-escalate stressful situations, and handle confusion with care. I communicate with families through written daily reports, regular updates via text or phone call, and always respect their preferred communication method. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm eager to use my skills to help your loved one live comfortably.
Kathe cared for my father in our home over many months as his dementia progressed. She handled the full range of what that involves — companionship, light personal care, meals, keeping him engaged. What made her stand out wasn't any single thing; it was her steadiness. She was reliable, kind, and patient — and my father was comfortable with her, which matters enormously with dementia. She kept detailed daily journals that became an invaluable record of his decline and helped our family and his medical team understand what was happening between visits. She was respectful of our home, easy to communicate with, and never made any of this feel transactional. When my father's care recently moved to a memory care facility, our home-care arrangement ended. We're grateful for everything she did during a difficult stretch, and I'd recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a steady, compassionate caregiver.
