About Kristina

What makes me a great caregiver is my compassion. I have made caregiving a priority of mine since I graduated from college with a degree in Journalism from the University of Florida. Immediately I gained a job taking care of a elderly woman and after her it just stuck. She claimed that I saved her life three times and the feeling of that took over me and changed my perspective of the path i wanted to take in life. It went from the News industry to the medical industry really fast and I cant be more happier. I wish to open my own nursing home one day and create a space for the seniors that they can really enjoy, with compassionate, loving nurses.

Taking care of the elderly became a passion of mine after assisting a elderly women whom was my neighbor. She had diabetes and developed dementia. She lived alone and needed me for everyday tasks that she was no longer able to do on her own such as, getting her up and dressed in the morning, making her breakfast, lunch and dinner and making sure she would take her medications. We would do light exercises throughout the day and go on walks. I also would do grocery shopping and household work that she asked. I took this job fresh out of college and she took me in and changed my view on life. I loved it so much that now i have changed my career and have decided to go back to school for gain a medical degree.
