About Crystal

The primary reason I enjoy being a caregiver is being able to help people who cannot care for themselves and knowing that I am adding to their lives and making the difficult time in their life more bearable. My favorite part is being able to help them maintain there life in the privacy of their own home. I have always felt for the people that wasn't able to stay in the home where they spent their lives with their spouse and raised their children and have been independent all of their lives and all of a sudden they are put into a position where they are forced to depend on other people. They are told its not safe for them to live alone or perform the normal daily activities anymore and most of the time these unfortunate people are forced into nursing homes and don't always get the care they deserve so my job is to help this major transition in their lives go smoother and my goal is for the people I'm caring for to still feel worthy, loved, show them support and help them to realize that someone understands what they are going through.
