About Crystal

I'm a mother, daughter and granddaughter. My grandpa passed away in 2000, leaving my legally blind grandma alone. At that time I knew she needed me more than ever. As the years went by, her needs became more and more. It gave me the opportunity to spend more time with her. Listening to her stories of the "old days" learning how to make her favorite recipes so she was able to taste them again. It was very humbling. Through the years, I gave birth to two beautiful daughters now 16 and 18. I also cared for many other children over the years. My whole life I've cared for others in one way or another. Not long after high school, I became a CNA. After a couple of years I decided to join the military to serve my country. I love helping where I can, I know how it feels to have an elderly loved one and worry every day that they are being cared for and having conversations to keep their minds sharp. So, all and all I'm excited to have to opportunity to care for your family member.

I am very well suited for the Field of Care Giving. I am a CNA. I am compassionate. I care very much about my Client's situation in life and want to do my best to help them cope and endure with their various health concerns. Also, I have more than 20 years in the care of others with various Ailments. I was attracted to this Field as a result of my Mother and Sisters involvement as well as my being a naturally caring person. I enjoy making a difference in the lives of my Clients. I look for opportunities to improve their care in whatever way I can. A couple of things I am very proud of is being able to understand and communicate successfully with a Client who is a Stroke Victim. Also, finding a solution to help relieve the severe irritation of a Client's scalp.
