About Kristine

I am a compassionate, nurturing, and considerate person, sympathetic and caring is my nature. I enjoy a job were I can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others. I have always wanted to help people be and feel their best. The small things like playing their favorite music in the background, fresh flowers in their favorite sitting area, windows open to let in fresh air; plus a warm/soft blanket as needed, making sure there is always something to drink close by, and of course the house safe, clean, and tidy. So all their senses are engaged.

    I am a mother of 3. Caring for others has ALWAYS been in my soul. I cared for my grandparents as a child just trying to help and be around them. I have been a care giver since I was 15 I love working with the elderly or even the young who just need some help. I am reliable, compassionate and understanding. I enjoy being with someone and knowing I am making it easier for them in what can be the last years of their life. I learn to care for your family members how they want and need and grow to love them like my own! I love to cook and championship is my favorite. My job is done when I know I have made my client feel safe, protected, loved and cared for how they want and deserve to be treated.
