About Karen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I've worked with the elderly in various degrees on/off for over 20 years. I was a CNA from 87-91, then got my Registered Nurse associates degree in 1992. I worked in Med/Surgery at a Level one trauma hospital for 6 years, then on a cardiac unit for 3 years. I left my career to raise a family and returned in 2017 to work as a Home Health Aide/Companion part time private duty home care for a lovely lady in her 90's. I enjoy working with the elderly, helping them achieve their potential and providing them good quality of life. Although I have a Nursing background, I now seek to provide care as a Home Health Aide/Companion.
