About Karissa

I love helping people in general. Very charismatic, very kind , responsible, respectful, reliable, hard worker and very honest. What attracted me to be a care giver is I enjoy helping people anyway possible. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is giving my clients the best care possible and building relationships with them. A personal achievement I am proud of is never giving up no matter how hard life gets.
