About Kristy

I became a caregiver by starting out taking care of my 10 year old disabled little cousin. It felt so good seeing her laugh and smile. I went on to take care of a elderly man with diabetes and another elderly man who was on hospice and dying from throat cancer. I enjoy being a caregiver bc I love the elderly and disabled. They need someone that is trust worthy and can make the best of the situation and pay attention to them and care for them the right way. Making people happt makes me happy. I graduated from massage therapy school with honors and perfect attendance. I am proud of myself for that because it made me realize how happy you are when you help others feel better. I am 25 years old and I have a 4 year old son. Im fun, dependable, trust worthy, caring, compassionate, and understanding. I would love to take care of people for the rest of my life.
