About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I am very compassionate, reliable , respectful, dependable, trustworthy and dedicated. I am certified & have 30+years experience. I enjoy my clients participation in activities, such as board games, cards, coloring, drawing, walks outdoors, puzzles etc., Companionship is a one to one relationship & is extremely important for the clients well-being. I love people and animals in general. I enjoy helping/caring for others. Putting a smile on someone's face is the utmost payment that I could receive. A great perk. I put all of myself into any situation. I am blessed with the love and care I have for others. I stay focused and it's the client who is #1; treated better than family. I possess great morals, manners, and communication skills.. Servicing your loved one as the only client around is my goal. Enormous experience in physical/emotional/dementia/ God brings the people together for a reason. These are words that help me to strive & survive.

Karen is fantastic! She watched my daughters for several years. Always making sure to play with them, take them to the park, cook for them, and even help with homework. My girls love spending time with her. She is very hands on, very loving, very kind. You can tell she was made for this. Her talents and gifts are definitely to help and serve others. She always made sure my home was taken care of as well. She will go above and beyond. You are lucky and blessed if you come across Karen and hire her! Look no further - hire her now. Your home and loved ones are in great hands with her.
