About Crystal

I became a Caregiver because of my Father, I took care of my father 24/7, because of cancer, I volunteer to hospital's and rehabilitation center to know all there was to be a CNA caregiver. I gave my father the ability to feel like he was still the man he once was, even though he could not do the things he use to do. I come to realize how passionate I am to help the families take on all the needs that their love ones need so the families could just focus on loving. My personal achievement that I am proud of is; having the ability to be with my father and hearing him say; Crystal you found your calling - you should make this your profession cause you are so good at it. I like being a Caregiver because I feel it is important for human beings to be treated with dignity, respect plus the fact that I like to know that I am doing everything that is needed for the patient that all the families have to worry about is Love: .

I am a happy, healthy, compassionate, loyal, patient, loving person who found my caregiver calling late in life. I am 66 years old and have been doing this for a little over 12 years and love what I do. I started when a couple different neighbors of mine were ill and didn't have any family to help them. I had my CPR CERT so I said why not and when they were doing better I decided to make this my work. (Experience through: IHSS, CARE.COM, CARELINX & CAMBRIAN HOME CARE) The first client I had was in very bad shape when I met him, diabetes, renal failure, heart failure, living on his own, not keeping up with his meds or taking his insulin properly. I called his Dr. got him on a med schedule and with the right food, TLC and exercise he did quite well. Since then I have had several different clients, one was on hospice and others I took to Dr appts., med Mgmt. , meal prep, errands and companionship. I'm looking now because one of my clients I had been caring for since 2015, unfortunately she passed away early November. I enjoy my work and I work very hard! Thank you so much, Cindy
