About Kristine

I Began my caregiving journey in 2012 with my parents. I am new to Care. com but not new to caregiving. I have had 2 long-term clients since one with dementia and one on hospice. I'd describe my personality as calm, friendly, and empathetic I like caring for seniors because they deserve respect and to be at home if possible. I'm looking for a job that provides me with an outlet for my empathy while supporting others. I started caring for seniors when my father was on hospice. After he passed I became a full time caregiver for my mother with dementia. In my spare time, I like to read, love on my cat, dog-sit, hike, and visit friends. One thing you should know about me is that I notice everything. I pay attention and note small changes that may mean something important. I will ask if I'm ever unsure but will act independently when necessary. My skills include assisting with transfers, bathing and personal hygiene. I also provide cooking, and medication management.
