About Krystal

I cared for my Mom in my home. She suffered from Dementia, requiring Oxygen+ Respiratory treatment. Thru my experience I know the fears, stressors + anxieties in finding a caregiver who will allow your loved one to feel safe + understood. This is the reason I do this work today. I have 15 yrs. + experience in caregiving on all levels, as Companion to bed ridden requiring a Hoyer lift + having to be washed + fed in bed. I still have relationships with the family's whose loved ones I cared for. I attend trainings, seminars regularly. I have CERTIFICATION from the Caringkind/Alzheimers foundation as a Dementia caregiver. (45 hrs. training). I enjoy my work in helping out + caring when needed. I have a knowledge of music + events that Seniors in particular are interested in. I find it easy to talk to people on all levels easily. I grew up in NYC, I have traveled extensively in + out of the U.S. I have family located thru out the country...Before I was a Caregiver I worked in the Fashion/Real estate industries. I live on the UES.....Krystal

I became a caregiver because its a rewarding job and I enjoy helping others. Being a caregiver you learn from each patient and you can take that knowledge on to the next. I am personally proud helping a patient who was under weighed gain 25 lbs and he stop being afraid of the outdoors. About myself, I'm very caring, honest, understanding, responsible, respectful, reliable young lady. My dedication is to my patients and their well being. I always go the extra mile for them.
