Hi, I'm Katie-a dedicated private home care professional serving families in New York and owner of my own caregiving business. I bring experience from hospital settings, nursing homes, agency work, and private in-home care. I previously held CNA certification and currently maintain my HHA/PCA credentials, which provide a strong clinical foundation for the care I deliver. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals living with complex and progressive conditions, as well as clients receiving hospice and end-of-life care. Families describe me as calm, reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for a loved one requires trust, and I honor that trust with professionalism, consistency, and respect. My goal is always to preserve dignity, encourage independence where possible, and provide steady, reassuring support through every stage of aging.
My father, a truly remarkable man, has dedicated his entire life to providing for our family. He has always been incredibly kind to everyone he meets. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia five years ago and he requires significant assistance now. As his daughter and caregiver, it is of utmost importance to me and my family that he receives the best possible care. We have very high standards for anyone caring for him. Over the years, we have had several Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), but only a few have truly stood out. It’s not a reflection of the others, but rather the difficulty of finding someone who is a perfect fit for someone you love so deeply. Katie is one of those rare exceptions. She has been a true blessing to our family, and her contributions have made a profound difference in the quality of my dad’s life every day. She has been with us for six months now, and she has consistently exceeded our expectations. Katie is punctual, treats my dad with immense dignity, patience, kindness, and compassion. She advocates for him and promptly communicates any changes in his health or concerns she may have. She is a woman of her word, trustworthy, and brings a warm and calming presence to our home every day. Knowing that someone I trust is taking excellent care of my dad gives me an incredible sense of peace. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Katie to anyone seeking compassionate in-home care for their loved one.
