My name is Kris. I am a mother of four children. I have been doing caregiving in a variety of settings for over 17 years. I have worked in assisted living, hospital, hospice and nursing home. I did private in home care for my grandmother also before she passed. Taking care of her was actually the first experience I had with caregiving. I really enjoy the one on one time with people and getting to know them. I also love knowing that I have helped someone in some way on any given day. Even if it is nothing more than running to the store for them. I love to see the smiles on peoples faces when they are happy and content or have someone else to talk to. I have learned so much from the people I have cared for over the years. I have also made amazing friends. The personal achievement that I am proud of is that I have instilled in my children that at some point in everybodies life they need some help. It does not matter who they are or where they are from, they are still people who need a little assistance.
