About Kristina

I have 3 grown children , and 4 grandchildren. (one with special needs) I have always wanted to be in the role of a caretaker since playing with dolls. My family has been in the medical field, elderly care since I was a child. I find it very rewarding, and enjoy learning from others wisdom. I enjoy giving family members a sense of peace to do the things they need to do in a day and I love getting to know my clients. Getting to know their wants and needs to get through a day and seeing their faces light up. Among my strengths including clear communication, calming strategies and schedule management, I believe the quality of patience qualifies me to care for an Alzheimer's or dementia client. I am proud to have experienced emergency room experience through my past job as an emt. I feel I have the knowledge to know an emergency and handle it calmly and smoothly. My greatest achievement was raising my children and now watching them be great parents. I became a caregiver in 1984 because I lived next door to an assisted living community. Sometimes leading a resident back to there home and being asked to join their working team.

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.
