KARIME, KARIME OH SWEET KARIME!

A year ago I put an add on FB requesting friends and family to help me find qualified and available caregivers to interview for a job here.  My good friend Laura then shared the message on her Marine wives private group. Itzia, Karime's sister, saw the post and notified her immediately. Within 2-3 days of posting the message I was contacted by Karime, we scheduled an interview and she was hired shortly after meeting her. 
Karime is a beautiful young woman about 28 years old, She took care of a lady with ALS whom she speaks highly of.  Karime is a caregiver and she's been in the field now for a little over 3 years. She's a self driven, hard working, BIG hearted, goofy, individual.    

After a year now I can say.....
Karime forgets to put the milk back in the fridge many times, and forgets to put the lids back on the containers.  She leaves half empty cups of coffee/water everywhere around the house.
"Karime! Your little dog pooped and peed in the room again!" (that has been the most recent problem lol)
She's pert near Perfect! (In Mr Booth's words)

***How she got a dog, if she has never been a dog lover??***

She was coming back from Tijuana, while waiting in line to cross the border one of the venders put a little tiny dog in her hands and told her, "She's a two month mini chihuahua dog with all her shots for $150" 
She ate it all up and bought the dog. A few days and over $1,000 later she finds out the dog was only 5-6 weeks old and needed all kinds of medical treatment.  She named the dog Coco and it's the cutest Chihuahua-Pug ever. lol 

I can't express enough how much Hiring Karime has not only helped Mr Booth but has Helped ME. 
 I had put my entire life on hold to care for Mr Booth, I thought I could do it all alone.  Depression kicked in, Weight gain, loss of personal life.
 I kept repeating to myself this phrase my father always tells me 
"A mayor Sacrificio, Mayor Recompensa" (The greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward)
After interviewing Karime, I knew she was the missing puzzle to Mr Booth, Quincy and I.  
I gained MY LIFE BACK. I have free time to go to the gym, and boy do I love that.  I'm healthy.
Started attending church again, even joined Church Choir. 
Karime has NO Idea how much she means to me, She was sent from God to help me gain my life back. I will forever Thank her for that.
  I have no doubt in my mind she will succeed in everything she sets her mind to. She's a full time student, a part time SideCar Driver, full time caregiver, a mother to a furry baby and a decent girl friend Ive been told ( ;) jk, she's a great one) 
It's been ONE year that she has been here with us and I already know she will be in my life forever. THANK YOU KARIME, and Cheers to another year here with Mr Booth, Quincy and now Coco. <3 <3 <3  Love you KAREEEEM!! <3 

GOD IS GOOD!!
