About Kalyn

I am a positive, uplifting individual who enjoys bringing out the best in others. My quirky personality is what I've been told is what is enjoyable to be around. I enjoy talking with people, asking them about their experiences and embracing what they still love. In the role I work, as an Activities Director, I have had to get trained on hands on experience. I got certified as a caregiver. I enjoy helping those who cannot help themselves, but encouraging independence while it is still there- and i understand how important it is to older adults to have that. I am proud of who I have become- working with older adults. It has taught me patience, empathy, and that it's okay to be yourself and build meaningful relationships with those who I serve. I enjoy learning from them and it's VERY rewarding to be there for them in any way possible.

I work as a full time Activities Director and a prn caregiver. I create the monthly calendar of programs for our residents to attend. I am in charge of all 3 areas of our health center- LTC, AL and Memory Support. I have 1 assistant who works with me and together we create meaningful moments for our residents to enjoy. Our programs range from bingo, exercise, happy hours with live music and appetizers, weekly outings to either restaurants of the resident's choosing or to museums or outside recreational events. I've been a part of my health center's leadership team the last 4 years.

I am a great caregiver because I treat my clients as if they were family. I became a caregiver because I find myself taking care of people all the time. I love being able to help people feel great about themselves in any situation. I like being able to comfort, calm, and bring a smile to people as they go through the stages of their lives. Sometimes it just takes conversation, a touch, or just cheering them on. I have been a medical assistant in the past and it makes it much easier to understand the correct ways to assist people. I have been a caregiver through a company here in Tucson since 2014 and have experience providing those who need companionship, light housekeeping, medication management, care for pets, and much more. I am quite good at getting along with people and making new friends (I consider my clients friends). My clients tend to grow to like and trust me very quickly. I like being around them because they teach me new things.
