About Kristina

I have a calm personality, and I am a very giving person. I started as a caregiver when I was in my early teens. I took care of my childhood friend who had cancer, and also my grandmother, father, and mother. Being a caregiver is the most satisfying work I have ever experienced. When I see my client smile, it fills my heart. I am very proud to have raised my son and daughter who have both turned out to be positive role models for friends and both have a strong work ethic.
