Karin Joy’s Bio
It would be an amazing privilege to me to be companion to Someone, to listen to their stories, even if oft repeated... I have taken care of my dad during his last year, and also been companion to a women suddenly widowed, a person recovering from a car accident, and those recovering from a nervous collapse, and a suicide attempt. I worked at the Elizabeth Freeman Center's womens' shelter for a year, 2003; a friend and I taught art, watercolors, still-life, at Fairview Commons, where I was also a companion privately to artist John Francis. I have no formal training or medical training, just life experience and a desire to be a friend in need. And, yes, I make great Italian caffe'!!
