My name is Krystal, I've been in the medical field 19 years .

I have really good people skills. I care for my client as if they were my grandparent. I enjoy helping them in any way i can. Making my client happy and comfortable is my goal

I was born and raised in El Paso and brought up in a bilingual home by my mother who I always saw as the most empowering and courageous individual. She is the reason I chose to give back and assist families in need of a companion. My mother was diagnosed with cancer at an early age and she fought the battle for nearly 15 years and never gave us a reason to feel one day she'd be gone. She taught me everything I know about listening and being supportive when my grandmother needed us the most. In my younger years I began waking up extra early to help my mother with cooking, cleaning and assisting my grandmother in grooming and preparing her favorite oatmeal and watching her favorite shows. Throughout the years I've been grateful to have been able to obtain all of the skills these two women taught me and above all the ability to apply them in my own daily life and with families in need .

I became a caregiver when my grandmother became sick. I really enjoy being able to care for others that are incapable of caring for them selves. I am very proud of having the knowledge of dealing with different mental behaviors such as Alzheimer , and having an understanding how to appropriately care for people with this sickness. I am a caring individual whom has respect for old and young . Thank you
