About Crystal

I'm a 47 yr old female caregiver who has been in this field since the age of 20. I've raised 6 children 4 of whom were mine. I have taken care of many different types of people, personalities and differences in many areas such as age ,illness, and disabilities. I'm a very straight forward caring individual who has a passion for caring for those who can no longer do everything they once could, and whom need a bit of help.I personally took care of my grandfather who died 7 years ago. Once he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer he passed within 28 days at home surrounded by love and his family. My greatest accomplishment in this field was when I was a house manager at Countryside llc. I took care of a man whom gave me severe issues in the beginning caring for him ,as he was not happy with his failing health and the fact that his independence was quickly being stripped from him because of his disease. I was determined to win him over ,and I did so quickly and I became his favorite caregiver. He declined quickly ,and I made sure his care was given even if I had to come from home (as I didn't live far )and wasn't on the clock. Some of the aides were afraid to administer his medication as it was potent, and if given to much could cause him to pass. He did pass eventually and I was mentioned in his obituary by his family as his special angel and caretaker. Not many of us are recognized for doing our job. I see the fact that his family realized this and paid special tribute to me a very big achievement, as they saw I went above and beyond as a caretaker ,a friend and was given the honor to care for and make someone else's end of days brighter & easier. So as far as I'm concerned ,if I can make someone else's life easier and more comfortable as their ending there last years on this earth ;then I've accomplished what God put me here to do.

Everyone needs help from time to time. I like being that for someone, and hopefully making their day nicer, too. It's the little things that make a bad day better. I am not certified, but I have had multiple jobs as a caretaker, skills coach, and mental health aide. I have experience in most skills requested, and am very comfortable performing all care needs. I am open to expanding my skills, and will put in the extra effort and research needed. Ive had training in most everything listed, including lifting, mobility, CPR, and first aid. For anything else, please feel free to ask! Thank you.
