Hello, I am Katelyn, I am a current university student at Concordia University, in Art Education, working toward a master's in Art Therapy. My goal is to one day become an Art Therapist and work with children and the elderly. I come from a family of three children, me being the eldest. I am extremely interested in psychology and art, as well as how art can help improve the life of a person suffering from a mental disease/syndrome. I am best described as a very bubbly, compassionate, out-going person. My hobbies include drawing, painting, writing and traveling, but mostly my hobbies were spending time with Kenny, the elderly man with Alzheimer's whom I have been caring for, for almost three years. I have experience working with children, although I haven't worked in that field for almost three years now. I have always had an ease when working with people. That's probably why I get along so well with others and why I chose a field that involves helping others. I hope you like what you read and consider me as your new care giver/nanny.

For the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of taking care of an elderly man with Alzheimer's, but unfortunately, my time with him has come to an end. He now requires 24/7 care that I and his family can no longer give him, so he is being placed in a home permanently. Over the past three years, I have become extremely close to the family and the elderly man I care for and it breaks my heart that I will no longer be spending my days with him. I would love to continue working in this field because nothing has made me happier than having an impact on someone else's life. My Job with Kenny ( the elderly man I cared for) ranged from doing laundry, changing his bedding, feeding him, cooking for him, taking him out, doing activities with him, doing art therapy with him, cleaning his surgical wounds and giving him eye drops. I helped bath him and dress him, as well as read to him and watched movies together. We were like two peas in a pod.
