About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have had over 10 plus years helping the senior population. My past clients have had Alzheimer's, Dementia, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis and aging issues. Duties include but not limited to medication management, bathing, dressing, cleaning, errands and companionship. If there is a pet I will gladly help with him/her. I currently work with an older gentleman that has an arthritic condition and onset of dementia. I help with errands, yard clean up, bill paying, prepare meals etc. I used to teach chair aerobics/stretching in nursing homes along with water aerobics. I have a fitness background. I enjoy the senior population. Currently I am employed as a substitute teacher. This allows me to have a flexible schedule. I have lived in Vero Beach for 2 plus years and enjoy the warm weather. All of my clearances are up to date. I enjoy helping people of all ages it is quite rewarding. I am also available to pet sit I have owned both. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I can highly recommend Karyn without hesitation, as she has proved herself to be trustworthy, dependable, and respectful. Upon first meeting Karyn, one cannot help but to feel instantly comfortable with her pleasant demeanor and her caring, fun-loving personality. Karyn worked for me for years in her role as manager of a fitness center. While her responsibilities were certainly varied, she was always able to complete them with the clients' best interests in mind. Karyn was assigned as a personal trainer for our senior population, and often had more requests than her schedule would allow. She also instructed group fitness classes for our older members, such as chair aerobics, both in our facility and also when traveling out to neighboring nursing homes. Knowing Karyn's ability to be both caring and respectful to people regardless of age, I sought her assistance with both my grandmother's care during her battle with cancer, and also with my mother's transportation needs for on-going medical care, which I am not able to always attend due to my work schedule. While many caregivers expect to work a typical "9-5" day, Karyn has always been more than accommodating with various scheduling needs. I am confident that your experiences with Karyn will certainly prove to be better than expected - I know that I was always more than happy!
