Hello, my name is Kaela! I have been a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) for the last 4 years, and prior to that was a private/in-home caregiver. I currently work at OHSU, so I have a wide variety of medical experience with all sorts of things ranging from orthopedic surgeries, oncology patients, dementia, etc. I would describe myself as kind, compassionate, and caring. I love to laugh, talk, play games, do arts/crafts, and be outdoors. I was raised mostly by my great-grandma, so I have a deep love and respect for older people (they have all the wisdom!) If there's anything more you'd like to know about me, don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
We hired Kaela through Care.com to help care for my elderly father, and she was truly a blessing to our family. From the very beginning, Kaela brought a calm, kind, and compassionate presence into our home. She treated my father with so much respect and dignity, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. Kaela was always reliable, professional, and attentive. She helped with everything from daily routines and light meal prep to companionship and making sure he felt comfortable and safe throughout the day. My dad grew very fond of her, and we felt complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She became more than just a caregiver — she became someone we trusted and appreciated deeply. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your loved one like family, I highly recommend Kaela without hesitation.
