About Kristin

I became a caregiver four years ago when I was seeking a position where I could help people. At the time I was going to art school but left after I began caregiving as I felt I had found a field where my friendliness and compassion could be better used. I love making people smile and knowing that I help them live their normal, healthy life. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. Recently I pursued my dream of moving to California. I drove 700 miles from Washington state to make it happen. It's the first time I've traveled and moved somewhere on my own. I am a former military "brat" and have traveled quite a bit throughout the U.S. I even spent a few years in the Philippines!

    Being honest, caring, punctual and following instructions makes me a great caregiver. It's making a client feel comfortable about being themselves and caring about their needs that's very meaningful to me as I'm learning as I go along that not all clients are the same. My personal achievement is being able to make him/her laugh again and love life no matter what their circumstances. I have been doing caregiving for 15years.
