About Krystal

Hi! My name is Krystal and I am a graduate student at the University of North Texas. Though my current career focus is in Environmental Science, my history at work has always been dedicated to providing in-home care to a variety of individuals. Over the years I have met numerous individuals from various walks of life and I have had the opportunity to learn something unique from each of them. This is my favorite part about the job! Often the sick and elderly are removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life (and in some cases forgotten), but I enjoy being able to slow down and indulge in the simple pleasures of life that we often ignore until we are providing care for someone else. For example, being able to enjoy a walk in the middle of the day or read an old book with a witty ending and charming tale. Doing these things, while providing care has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment while I pursue my other interests and career. This is why I promise to be more than a caregiver. I promise to be a shoulder to lean on, an intense chess player, a dance partner (if necessary lol), a walking buddy, a grocery shopper, the cleaning lady or simply a friend. Contact me today!

Growing up being the oldest of 6 siblings I had to be the caregiver due to my mother working long hours as a nurse. In my adult life I've had many jobs but no fulfillment until I started caring for others. I found my purpose and calling. I truly enjoy/ love being a caregiver it brings so much joy and self gratification. My mother played a big part of why I love being a caregiver. seeing the love, she gave, and the return love played a big roll. It feels good to know that I have gained a client trust as well as the assurance that I will take care of them. To see them smile or just help them through a rough day knowing that they can count on me is a great reward. I've had a client I had just started with ask me, is this just a job or do you care? I care about what I do. This is one of the biggest questions that a client or family member has when looking for a caregiver. Staying positive, going beyond the call of duty, compassionate, caring, outgoing, patience, etc. To have the opportunity to care for your loved one or self would be a privilege and a blessing.
