About KatieBack to Top
Hello! My name is Katie, I am 25, and an American living in Ireland with my Irish husband. In the States, I am a licensed Physiotherapist Assistant, where I exclusively rehabilitated and cared for the elderly in nursing homes and in their own homes, helping them get back to health following illness or injury. This included daily tasks such as ensuring cleanliness, helping and teaching the elderly to be mobile again, having a listening ear and a hand to hold. I have experience with everything from the older person who needs a little company, to the older person with dementia or following a stroke. I have 2 years of professional training plus 1+ years of real life experience with caring for the elderly, with emphasis on safe movements (such as getting in and out of a shower/tub, in and out of a car, and other forms of mobility, such as walking or using a wheelchair), as well as training in recognizing and responding to medical emergencies. In Ireland, my heart for the older person has lead me to continue working with the elderly. When I care for someone, I can’t help but love them like my own grandparents and it’s my number one priority that, regardless of age, physical or cognitive condition, the people in my care are given the care, dignity and respect that they deserve. I am available from March 2018. Whether they just need a little company and help cooking, cleaning or running errands, or need total care for safety, hygiene and quality of life, I’m looking forward to beginning our journey together caring for the older person in your life. I have a CV and references upon request! Hourly rate varies dependent on care requirements. Thanks so much for your time! -Katie
