About Joy

I came from a very large family. I am the youngest so I took care of all of my siblings children growing up. Because some of my siblings were significantly older than myself, I have also taken care of 2 sisters, one w cancer and alzheimers and the other w congested heart failure, and 1 brother who had a thelmic hemorrhagic stroke. I am a very caring, warm and patient person so it is just in my nature to care for others. I have also had at least 10 yrs of business management, managing others and a lot of customer service experience. I do prefer hands on care over being in an office or corporate environment. I have been there and its just not as satisfactory as knowing I have made at least a little difference in someone's day!

Hello! My passion is caring for people and their health. I have been a caregiver for 3 years and have worked as a CNA for 1 year. I also am in college so I am always learning and eager to learn as well! For caring, it is not "just about getting the job done". I try to earn my resident's trust and hope that they will trust me with their health. I love to get to know them personally and ask about their life, make jokes with them and what not. I have most of my experience with the elderly and adults with down syndrome. However I have a very broad experience with most common disabilities as well. My goal in life to become a Physician assistant specialized in geriatrics or dermatology. I am also CPR and first aid certified!

Hi, my name is Crystal. I worked as a caregiver for a couple years and I loved it and I have a passion for it and helping anyone that may need any help. I'm a caring person and will always strive to make sure you are happy and everything is done to ur standards. With my first client I ever had, the one in the photo with me, I got really close to her and took care of her all the way until the end. She ended up being my first client and my last and now I just want to get back to doing what I love. I have a huge heart and I'm here for you in every way I possibly can be. I may be young only 28 but I am wise for my age and I also know that everyday I will continue to grow. I like learning what makes my clients happy and then I do my best to make them smile and leave them in positive vibes. I'm a hard worker too especially if you like deep cleaning or organizing. Just talk to me and tell me what you need and I'll do my best to make it happen. I only have gotten good reviews from my past clients and I hope I continue to keep it that way. Stay safe and take care. Call me 414 350 9500
