About Krista

Hello! My name is Krista and I have been working in the health care field for about 4 years now and I absolutely love it. I decided to become a caregiver because I was in and out of hospitals when I was an infant and I felt like becoming a caregiver was my way to pay it forward. My favorite thing about being a caregiver is just being able to make my patients happy. I have been working full-time for a company that serves individuals with different disabilities for about three years now and it is extremely rewarding. Being able to hear my patients families tell me how much they appreciate what I do is one of the biggest achievements I could ever have.
