About Crystal

Some qualities about me that make me a great caregiver is that I am patient, laid back, a good listener, I am compassionate but will encourage for the client to be as vibrant and have as much as a zeal for life as possible. My mother had a stroke back in 2006. I became a caregiver and have been her caregiver for 14 years. It's not a job I chose but I have become inspired to stay in the field and help others as best as I can. I enjoy seeing the client healthy and happy. When my client is smiling, that's when I know I've done my job. I have no awards or certificates, but I am generally proud of the work that I have done with my mother over the years.

I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
