About Kristen

I am a people person and I love the elderly because I learn a lot from them. I am understanding when it comes to the fact that the elderly need a little bit of assistance to get things such as personal care accomplished. I'm patient when they hesitate on making decisions. I just think that I would make a good caregiver because I am very caring. I treat my patients how I would want my parents to be cared for. I also have plenty of references from patients and their family members upon request.
