Inspired by Grandma.Created to Care for Yours.

The name Kibibi was chosen in loving memory of the woman who inspired my journey into health care and taught me the true meaning of compassion, patience, kindness, and unconditional love.

Growing up, I watched my grandmother navigate life with diabetes and throat cancer. From a young age, I naturally became one of her caregivers. I encouraged her to take her medications, assisted her with bathing, prepared her meals, helped with daily activities, and kept her company. We watched her favorite shows, shared conversations, listened to her stories, and cherished the simple moments of being together.

One experience has remained close to my heart.

When I was 12 years old, my grandmother suddenly became very ill. She was shaking, confused, extremely cold, and weak. We lived in a remote village, far from medical facilities. There was no Google or internet to turn to, and I was frightened because I did not know what was happening or what to do. But one thing I knew for certain: I could not leave her alone. She needed me.

I wrapped her in a blanket, stayed by her side, reassured her that everything would be okay, and called for help. As we waited, I gave her some juice, hoping it would help her feel better. I didn’t know exactly what was happening or why she was so unwell; I simply did what I could with the little knowledge I had at the time.

Shortly afterward, her symptoms began to improve. When we eventually reached the clinic, we learned that her blood sugar had dropped to a dangerously low level. Looking back, giving her juice was an important step, as it provided the sugar her body desperately needed.

Years later, while in nursing school, I found myself reflecting on that childhood experience. As I learned more about diabetes and hypoglycemia, I came to understand why giving her juice had helped. It was a particularly proud and emotional moment for me to realize that, even at just 12 years old, I had instinctively taken a step that aligned with what I was now learning in nursing school. Without fully understanding what was happening medically, I had done something that helped my grandmother.

That experience stayed with me. At just 12 years old, I didn’t have medical knowledge or training, but I had something equally meaningful: the instinct to care, the courage to stay, and the determination to do whatever I could to help someone I loved.

That moment taught me something I would carry with me for the rest of my life:

Sometimes, care begins simply by being there.

I remained by my grandmother’s side throughout her illness and until her final days. Through that experience, I learned that caregiving goes far beyond medications, procedures, or completing daily tasks. It is also about companionship, reassurance, dignity, patience, listening, and love.

Before she passed away, my grandmother said something I will forever hold close to my heart:

Those words became more than a cherished memory. They became part of my life’s calling.

From Grandma’s Care to My Calling

My experience caring for my grandmother sparked a passion for health care that eventually grew into my career.

Throughout my journey, I have been fortunate to care for people from many different walks of life. I strive to leave a meaningful mark on everyone I care for, offering the same compassion, patience, and dedication that I once gave my grandmother.

Even when language becomes a barrier, I find ways to connect. Through gestures, a reassuring smile, and learning important words in the languages of those I care for, I make every effort to understand their needs and help them feel comfortable, respected, and valued.

Because I believe everyone deserves a touch of Kibibi in their lives.

My health care journey began as a Medical Office Administrator, followed by two years of experience as a Community Health Care Assistant. Throughout this time, I continued pursuing my nursing education and eventually became a nurse.

To me, nursing is more than a profession. It is a passion, a responsibility, and a calling that I carry with grace.

Today, I work across acute and community care settings, continually strengthening my clinical knowledge, developing my skills, and deepening my understanding of what it truly means to care for another human being. Alongside my clinical practice, I also support and train health care workers, sharing my knowledge and experience to empower them to deliver exceptional, compassionate, and person-centered care to everyone they serve.

Kibibi Home Health Care is the next chapter of that journey.

It is an extension of the love my grandmother taught me, the values she instilled in me, and the promise I made to carry her golden heart forward.

Through Kibibi, my hope is to bring compassionate, dependable, and person-centered care into the homes and lives of those who need it most.

Because at Kibibi, we believe care is more than what we do. It is how we make people feel.
