About Crystal

I am a current nursing student at SPSCC in Olympia, WA and will be receiving my Associates Degree December of 2016. After receiving my degree, I plan to further my education and eventually become a Registered Nurse. I have taken the CNA course for my Nursing Assistance Certification but am not officially Certified until I take the state exam for it. But, I do have other documents and certificates to show for it upon request. As I grew older, I came to realise that caring for others is my passion. I have a nurturing nature in me already so I figured, why not put it to more use and help elders and the disabled that are in need? I think I get that from my grandmother, being raised by her all my life including my grandpa. I have been in the caregiving industry for about 2 years now and have shadowed at Mother Joseph's nursing home in the past for 2 weeks, dealing with several patients that suffer from different health conditions including Dementia. Currently, I am also a caregiver for an individual on weekends, who suffers from several health conditions. Jobs for her include showering, dressing, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, giving medications and assistance in any other means necessary for her. If hired, I can reassure your Mother will be in good hands as I take my job seriously and passionately.

I am passionate about dedicating my life to giving quality care to others. My favorite thing about being a caregiver is knowing I'm helping somebody achieve their goals, and assure they are living a high quality life.
