About Kristin

Hello I'm Kristin . I have almost 5 years experience as a Caregiver. I Provide outstanding care and comfort in a compassionate way. Understanding that each patient is unique with specific needs and/or disabilities. My Favorite pass times with my clients are: taking walks, also walking pets, shopping, going out to lunch, playing word puzzles watching Jeoparty, talking and enjoying each other's company. I have great organization skills and keep on schedule. I love to cook and keep a tightly house. Growing up I was a world class gymnast. Gymnastics taught me structure, self disapline and responsibility. I went to Charter Oak High School in Covina, CA. Upon Completion of High School, I Enrolled into EMT School in West Covina, CA where I Graduated second best in my class. Receiving my EMT Certification (including Basic Life Support and CPR) I worked on an Ambulance for about 6 years. We would run 911 calls with County Fire Departments and Patient Transfers. I Managed a Small Business for 10 years with my Fiancee. He was diagnosed with Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis in 2014. Shortly after his MS became debilitating. I became his Caregiver and took care of him until he passed away. I have a very loving family who still live in the same house I grew up in. I have two Sons Tyler and Corey and two Grandaughters Ariel and Diana. I am Looking Forward to Meeting you and becoming a part of your Family.

I enjoy listening to people and caring for them. I want them to be comfortable and as happy as they can be for the situation. I want to give them the attention, care and dignity they deserve. Spending time listening and sharing conversations - while also doing my job of making sure they are eating, drinking, exercising. Etc. I never thought about being a caregiver - it just happened and I am glad it did because I enjoy it. I work to increase their state of mind (happy, smile and laugh)- I know this time of their life is tough and I want to help them find some enjoyment and comfort to embrace each day.
