About Kristina

Hi, I am Kristina. I currently live in Graham NC with my boyfriend of 6 years and our 10 Month old German Shepherd, Enzo. I grew up on a farm in northern alamance county and I enjoy being outdoors, fishing, hiking, spending as much time with family as possible, travelling, and as I like to say choosing "memories over materialistic." I was raised by my grandparents and I am thankful for them and the morals they instilled in me daily. I love being around others, I definitely enjoy the elderly, there stories, most of the time their marriages that have lasted forever. I am very personable, cater to the individuals need, I wear my heart on my sleeve. I love to laugh and take every day given as a gift. No need is to big or small. I enjoy the rewards of being a caregiver such as assisting someone to find a new way of doing things they love they havent been able to do, but can now do in a modified sense that fits their situation. I enjoy that every client is different and there is never a dull moment in caregiving, allowing everyone to be their individual self. I cared for my grandfather and aunts and uncles and I wouldn't trade any of it, every day was the best day. I am proud of my dedication and commitment to being a caregiver and enjoying everyday no matter the challenges or situations that arise.
