About Krystal

I became a care giver because I'm passionate about helping and caring for those in need. I enjoy being a care giver for many reasons but the biggest would be the feeling that I get when I am able to make someone's day even if it's just helping them with everyday tasks or just talking to them so they don't feel alone. I am proud that I had the experience of working in a hospital setting for 3 years as a nursing assistant. The other employees and the patients were amazing and showed me just how fragile life is and how much we take for granite everyday. I am a caring/kind person who is very reliable and a fast learner. I work well under stress and time constraint but most importantly I work well with others. I treat my patients/residence like they're my own family members regardless of gender,race,religion, or circumstance. I believe everyone in a situation in which they require assistance never chose that and should be treated with respect/dignity.

    My decision to become a caregiver came from personal experience. A few years ago my mother became very ill suffering from a disease that caused extreme weekness and rapid onset of dementia. It was fortunate that I could be there to help my Dad take care of her many needs. To give him a break I went to their home almost everyday, I learned firsthand how important the caregiver roll is to a person or family in need. After my mom passed, I became a volunteer at a nearby assisted living senior center and chose to work in a memory care unit. That experience cemented my desire to work in the senior care field. From there I left my career as a Medical Lab Tech and became a caregiver. It has proven to be very rewarding and in some small way brings me closer to my Mom.

    I became a caregiver very young, I helped care for my younger sister and cousins and as I became older I cared for other relatives. One of my best achievements was in April 2012when I received my CNA/HHA Certificate. I have always enjoyed helping others, it makes me smile if I can make someone else smile at least once a day.
