About Kristen

Hi! My name is Kristen and I'm a mother to a wonderful 6 year old little boy. His name is Niko and by far is the greatest accomplishment in my life. He's taught what unconditional love is and to put others needs, wants, etc in front of your own and to be happy to do it! My background is in the medical field-I'm a Radiography Technician by trade. While I was in school I worked part-time as a HHA and I absolutely loved it. I loved helping and taking care of people. I've worked in Level 1 trauma centers, behavioral health facilities and in clients homes-and I enjoyed it all. Even though they were very different settings, I still enjoyed the one on one contact you have with your patients and that I was able to help them. I'm a very compassionate person and I get such a sense of fulfillment by helping hem or just talking to them. For fun I love spending time with family, reading, doing yoga and helping others. I would take care of your family as if they were my own. I've worked at an adolescent behavioral health facility and was an Administrator at an ALF so I had to be cleared thru AHCA and DCf both national background check/ screenings.

    I BECAME A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I ENJOY PROVIDING CARE-GIVING SERVICES TO THOSE THAT CANNOT DO FOR THEMSELVES OR NEED ASSISTANCE. ALSO BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED HELPING PEOPLE SO I KNOW I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING. BEING A CAREGIVER GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE IN PEOPLE LIVES BY HELPING THEM AND MAKING THEM BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU. I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT I'VE HELPED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER BEFORE SHE PASSED. I SPECIFICALLY BECAME A CAREGIVER SO I CAN BE CERTIFIED AT WHAT I DO BEST.

    My interest in caregiving started at an early age. Every sunday after church I would visit the sick and shut in members and others who requested prayers. I then attended a Medical Specialty High School and was involved in volunteering at local Adult Day Cares. When I was about 15 years of age my grandmother started developing Dementia and shortly after had a stroke. I became her main caregiver; cooking, cleaning, reading to her when not in school. I love the fact that I get to make a difference in someones day to day life. I tried many different ventures and always ends back into caregiving. This is what I'm meant to do and I'm good at it and enjoy doing it.
