About Kristina

I was 14 attending a walk-a-thon for breast cancer survivors at my county fairgrounds. My step mom took me by surprise when she handed me a yellow ribbon that said, "CareNurse" and asked me to walk with her. I felt honored, my actions were recognized and my heart filled with love. Knowing thats the reward for being a caregiver encourages me to be a great caregiver. I've learned over the years mindfulness skills play a huge role in my emotional health being able to provide the best care. I have a wide range of experience in caregiving. My actions are seen as genuine, I've learned to communicate assertively and lead my interactions with people with empathy. I'm proud of who I am and the value system I have in place.

My Name is Mary Kamara a cheerful and loving care giver. I have been in this profession since 2007. Am also a mother of three grownup kids and my middle kid an active marine who has served for 12 years now. He liked the way I did my job, go to school and take care of my home with my mom and grand baby. Am now taking a break from school after gtraduating in 2019. I like care giving especially to our seniors because they have served us when they were young and now is the time for us to serve them. I like shearing with them old stories of their past and important dates in their lives they never forget to celebrate. I am also a good listener and compassionate caregiver who goes an extra mile to make sure my job is done well. I am punctual and dependable. I love when i give care and my patient says thank you. I really appreciate that. Am a loved care giver, most of my patients love me and want only me to be visiting them to give cares always after they have known me. I have gone to school to be a Trained Medication Aide and also a Medical Assistant, but came back to do care giving because I love and appreciate the care giving job because I meet one on one with different people for the longest of time than the other jobs. I enjoy my job with my beautiful smiles, nothing brings me down when am working and I can handle stressful work when the days are not favorable.
