About Kristy

Caregivers must be good listeners and empathetic conversationalists. They should be detail-oriented, diligent problem solvers and have technical medical skills to apply to patients as needed. __In my last role as a home health aid, my client was feeling depressed. After a long, heartfelt talk with him, I learned he missed going outside. It's something so simple but was having a negative impact on his life. love helping people. I wanted to become a caregiver because I've always had a soft spot for seniors and wanted to make a difference in their lives. My favorite part about the job is spending quality time getting to know your client, learning about their life and routine and need's. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your client happy. My personal achievement I'm most proud of is being so passionate about my work!

A few things about me and my role as a caregiver are that I'm friendly, kind, compassionate, understanding, and hard working. For 10 years, I have worked as a caregiver under two professional services, ROI in Michigan and Help-at- Home in Northwest Indiana. The services that I've performed include transportation, personal assistance, physician advocate, medication disbursement, life-skills assistance to people, of all ages, with a variety of physical and mental abilities. Credentials include behavioral, CPR, and First Aid training. I am passionate about caring for those in need giving a helping hand. Knowing I could make a difference in their life and seeing a smile on their face brings joy and purpose to my life! What inspired me to get into caregiving was my Grandma. In the beginning, she just needed help with little things. Then, as time passed she needed all around care. It felt good to help her. I saw a need that I knew I could fulfill, not only for her, but others too. A personal achievement that I am most proud of was becoming an APC (Assistant Program Coordinator). I had applied 2 other times and didnt get the job. I had to build more skills and fight harder for it and the people I loved to help. I am thankful for the experience it has helped me to be a better caregiver.

Hi I'm Kelsie, I'm 22 years old. I have worked with elderly for over 2-1/2 years now. I'm very open to conversation and keeping a happy environment. I enjoy being a caregiver because I know I'm helping someone. I love that I can be apart of taking care of them. The smiles you can make or even just being a listening ear.
