Khiarra’s Bio
Hello! My name is Khiarra, I'm 43 and married to my husband of 25 years. We have 3 adult daughters, and we recently relocated to Cape Coral from Washington DC.
While a lot of my experience as a provider has been focused on infants and children, I have been caring for my 23 year old daughter while she battled a rare form of leukemia. She's now in remission after a 2nd bone marrow transplant over the holidays. During that time I learned how to perform basic and specialized home care procedures including BP checks, Blood glucose level checks, GI tube care and cleaning, PICC line care and cleaning, medication administration, bathing & hygiene, occupational therapy, and detailed notations to share with healthcare providers.
I was born and raised in Italy, before relocating to the US in 2001 and graduating from University of Maryland with a Masters in Applied Mathematics in 2006. I enjoy reading, board games, arts and crafts and cooking Italian food 😊
I consider myself a socially oriented person, and it's my goal to improve the quality of care of the people in my community.
If you'd like to schedule a chance to discuss your needs, feel free to contact me at (703)629-8844
Be well!
