Lyniece C.

I became a caregiver because I have a great deal of empathy for other people and I enjoy helping people and making a difference in their quality of life. I participated in the Nurse Aide Training program at RACC in 2012 to learn all the skills necessary for this career. I am CPR/First Aide certified and also medication administration trained and certified with the state. I have Diabetic training.

My name is Kristin. I have been a caregiver for over 20 years. I started out in 1991 as a home health aide in Hunterdon county, NJ, while in college over the summers. I became a caregiver because I was so impressed with the care my grandmother received on hospice. They took care of her psychological and spiritual needs as well as her physical needs. They were truly angels and it was a great example of what I wanted to do for someone in their life someday. The next summer, I applied and was accepted for a home health aide position. I have never grown tired of caring for people in their homes. No matter what the case, it is always interesting, and I always learn so much from my clients. I am currently working as a private duty aide on weekends, so I have a lot of time to give to other cases. I would prefer evening work to be home with my children in the morning. However, I am willing to consider any shift or hours available. I have been married and living in Exeter Twp. PA for 18 years and have 3 children, ages 14, 12, and 10. I enjoy cooking, baking and arts and crafts. I also like to chat with others and tell stories. I am a great reader and enjoy reading to other people. I am very good with animals as well and enjoy people's pets, I have no animal allergies. I currently have CPR certification, which I plan on renewing in April 2015. I enjoy meeting and working with people of all ages, although most of my experience is with the elderly.
