About Kristen

Some of my personality traits are that I'm a very happy bubbly person, I'm very forward and honest ! I love to make ppl laugh and I'm very organized and a clean freak. Why I'm such a great care giver is because I always put the clients/residents needs first no matter what! I'm very considerate of their needs and wants and Im always respectful no matter what situation. What makes me such a great caregiver is I don't just do this as a job to get a pay check. I do this because I have a passion and desire to care for those who can't care or fend for themselves. I have a huge desire to care for others and I love being able to care for those who families can't always be there or can't be there at all. It literally makes my day especially when I can make them smile or laugh. What attracted me most about this job is when I was younger I always appreciated and made friends with the disable students in school. And I can honestly say ever since elementary school Ive always just enjoyed caring and spending time with others who had disabilities. I am proud to say I'm almost done with CNA school and will be graduating in February 2019 and I plan to get my RN next ! Thank you !
