I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Karin for all the knowledge I’ve gained from learning at First Class Caregiving. Karin you’ve been an amazing teacher and during our learning you knew how to make us fully understand everything vividly and geared us up for our future healthcare encounters. Many of us got employed abroad soon after completing our studies with you and greatly appreciate all the knowledge and professionalism that you have passed on to us! Even after moving abroad, you still show me love and kindness and give nothing but good reference about me to my employers and that has left a big mark in my heart as your humanity is greatly valued and appreciated. In everything I do, I will never forget where it all began Karin and you deserve nothing but the best in return. May God continue to bless and protect you ❤️. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge, it is greatly appreciated. Gaynor xx

Attending at First Class Caregiving was one of the most transformative experiences of my life, and much of that is thanks to the Karin, the incredible teacher who leads the program. While her strict demeanor was misunderstood by most, it quickly became clear to me that her approach comes from a deep passion for her work. She emphasized discipline and consistency, qualities essential in caregiving, and inspired us to see this work as more than a profession—it’s a calling. What truly sets her apart is how multifaceted her role is. Beyond the classroom, Karin was a mentor, offering spiritual guidance, invaluable nutritional advice, and unwavering support, making her more than just a teacher. Her commitment to her students' growth went far beyond the curriculum. Even after completing the program a year ago, her commitment remained evident to me. When I reached out to her for advice about a family member’s cancer treatment, she generously assisted without hesitation. Her dedication to her students and their loved ones goes beyond expectations, leaving a lasting impact. So if you’re looking for a caregiving school that not only prepares you professionally but also nurtures you personally, First Class Caregiving is unparalleled.
