About Krista

I have been working in the health field for over 20 years and have enjoyed every minute of it! Ranging from nursing homes to hospitals. I became a caregiver because I love to take care of people and the sense of gratitude I achieve when I make someone comfortable or simply make them smile! My achievements range from awards I have received such as outstanding employee to learning so much over the years! Achievements such as phlebotomy, EKG's, suctioning, working with ventilators, vitals, oxygen and the simple fact of knowing how to deal with different patients needs! Working on a medical floor at UMASS Medical Center in Worcester, MA has taught me how to deal with a variety of patients. I have since moved to Grand Junction, CO. Where I would love to continue my medical career. Now that my children are older, I would love to continue my medical field in home health. I would love to have flexible hours. I am a dedicated mother as I am a dedicated employee! I always put forth my best and hardest effort in whatever I do! I always have a smile on my face and love to bring a smile to someone's face! Thank you for your time.
