About Kristina

I became a Caregiver at the age of 17 because it was a path that I felt driven to. My mother has been a nurse for my entire life and I knew that caring for people was my calling. I enjoy helping those in need, but I love learning about the people I am helping. I love to sit and listen to them talk about their lives and tailor my work to better suit them. One patient in particular always stands out in my mind when I think of personal achievements. She was a young woman and at her worst, she was unable to speak or move. The individual care that I gave this woman must have made an impression because after she left the facility I was working at, she came back specifically to thank me for the bed baths, which had been the highlight of her day. I like to think of myself as a very friendly and open person, which helps me make people feel comfortable when they are feeling vulnerable, which often happens during a time of illness. I am the mother to an amazing 7 year old little girl and it makes me so happy to hear her tell me that she wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
