About Krystl

I am a compassionate caregiver with dedication and commitment to the health and well-being of my clients while providing them quality in-home or facility care. With excellence in providing for daily needs, including homemaking, cooking, transportation, and supplementing therapy. As well as providing compassion, respect, and patience to their family and loved ones. I originally became a caregiver to learn the skills needed to help my great grandmother once she was diagnosed with dementia, and came to live with my husband and me. One of the parts of my job I enjoy the most is getting the opportunity to get to know my client's personalities and learn about their families, all while getting to feel a sense of accomplishment knowing I am making a difference and helping some of our most vulnerable in their time of need.

I have worked with seniors since I was 9 years old volunteering at senior living care homes. I have always had a special place in my heart for elderly. As I became an adult I knew I wanted to keep working with them. I have worked with several families in Reno for the last 16 years. I am patient, kind, and will give them the dignity they deserve. I have experience helping with medication reminders and organization, bathing, meal prep, light housekeeping, running errands, and companionship.
