About Krista

Many years experience in Senior Care, also great experience with clients with Alzheimer's and Dementia- I am currently employed at Citrus Memorial Hospital and work on the orthopedic/surgical floor. I have been in the medical field since I was 15 years old. 1st job was in my hometown Nursing Home. Since then I have always had a love for the elderly. I was born to be a caregiver as I was a Nanny in NY for 10 years. I grew up in Iowa and have always loved the medical field. I have been an EMT since 2000. I have many years working in Healthcare facilities. I have a big heart and love for elderly. I always have a smile on my face and will go the extra mile to help others out. I am very flexible and easy going. If you ask any of my coworkers they will tell you I have a heart of gold and I am always happy and willing to help.

Hello my name is Lynda Evans First I want to offer my condolences for your loved one. I understand completely as I cared exclusively for my father for 5 years with congestive heart failure, diabetes, and strokes. I don't just do care giving I am a born Caregiver. Everybody deserves respect and compassion when facing life's challenging obstacles. I also have had medical challenges I have had to overcome and understand how important it is to be positive and stress free and not to focus on what you can't do but accentuate what you can. My clients are very happy with me and would personally ask for me to come take care of them. I even had one gentleman who was very shy about bed bath cracking up. I love and care for each individual as my own, and want them to feel the best they can in a comfortable atmosphere. I cared for a lady who started having brain surgery at 20 and she was in her 70's when I cared for her. She also was difficult to understand but with patients I learned to communicate with her very well. I have cared for Alzheimer, Stroke, Cancer, Bed and Wheel Chair bound, and much more...... ALSO: I am very organized, great on cleaning, laundry and cooking: GOOD FOOD not junk. I also do not smoke, or take any medications. I have a HHA CERTIFICATE and CNA license, Alzheimer/dementia along with HIV/AIDS certificate. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I have impeccable references if you so choose was unable to list them all on this site I may be a little higher but guarantee I am worth all of that and more and my past employers will agree with this Lynda Evans
