Hello! I'm Kristel. Thank you for viewing my profile. I worked as a CNA for 10 years, I have been an EFDA for 22 years, and I just cared for my mom on home hospice ( total care) for the past 15 months. My being her full time caretaker renewed my love for senior care. I love being able to provide quality care to those unable to care for themselves. As a caregiver, I understand the need for a break. 
I have spent my lifetime caring for others with the dignity and respect they deserve. 
I started caring for seniors when I was 16 as a bedmaker/companion. Once 18 I became a CNA. 
I love animals and I am a big kid at heart. I am reliable, dependable and observant.
My skills include vital signs, medication management, bathing, feeding, light cooking, cleaning, activities of daily living, range of motion, companionship. Have a great day/evening! :)

Kristel has worked for our dad for over 5 years. First of all, she is very professional, kind, loving, and super knowledgeable about caring for the elderly. We are so blessed to have her care for our dad; he totally loved her and looks forward to seeing her every day. We receive a daily update at the end of the day and she reports immediately any significant changes, which really gives us peace of mind. She treats our dad as if he was family. Kristel is incredibly devoted to all of our dad's needs—I don’t know what we would have done all these years without her. She has become like a family member and deserves ten star 

Kristel is a caregiver with a heart, this is not just a job for her but calling. . She truly cares about the people she takes care of and treats them like family.   She pays attention to every detail and provides daily updates.  I’m extremely grateful to have her as part of our extended family.

My dad had undergone having a stent put in his subclavian in December of 2023.   His health began a decline after this.  I was his primary care giver and his driver as my dad could no longer drive.   One of my dad’s neighbors gave me Kristel’s contact info.  Kristel has assisted with another family down the street from my dad.  When I called Kristel I was quite emotional as I finally realized I needed assistance with my dad.  When Kristel called me it was like I found my guardian angel.  She  stopped by and spent some time with my dad and I.  Kristel and my dad hit it off right away.   He kind of remembered her from helping his neighbors.   Kristel was awesome. She had lots of experience and knowledge on my dad’s stroke conditions and heart issues.   She also was very knowledgeable on my dad’s medicines.  Kristel  gave me a lot of support as well ( both as a caregiver and she became a good friend).  She definitley went above and beyond for my dad and I.  I will always be very thankful and appreciative of Kristel.  I highly recommend her and her expertise.   You will feel like you have known her all of your life, as she is very personable.  

Kristel is kind, thoughtful and provides great care. She is always an advocate for her clients, looking out for their best interest.  Kristel has worked with my mother for over three years and has given our family great peace of mind. 

Kristel has been a caregiver for our father for 3+ years. The peace of mind she has given us over the years is immeasurable. Kristel truly cares about her patients and their families. She has gone above and beyond what we ever expected when we hired her. Bringing her into our dad's home is the best decisions we ever made. We consider her our dad's angel ❤️

Kristel has gone above and beyond for our family. She is very attentive and reliable. I met Kristel while she was caring for one of my clients mother, she was so sweet and caring. The moment my family came into hardship with my mother in law I knew who I wanted to take care of her. Kristel of course! I found her on Care.com. Kristel happened to be a little busy at the times I needed her, but she still found a way to be there to accommodate to our needs. After the passing of my mother in law we continued to use her services for my mother in law sister. Kristel has now become a part of our family. I would recommend her to everyone I know

Kristel more than met my expectations.  She is a hidden gem that I was lucky enough to find.  Kristel is the person I would want taking care of me if I need someone.  She does fantastic working with my husband who has dementia.

Kristel is very conscientious and goes out of her way to ensure her clients are well cared for.

She is a thoughtful, loving, dedicated person
Who is a Joy to be around. I am a 81 senior citizen that is so glad to have found her.

Excellent caregiver!  She truly cares about her clients, knows how to work with dementia patients and goes above and beyond of what standard expectations are.  Creates a close bond with her clients as well.

By far one of the best caregivers I have had. She is so very kind and helpful. My mom is bed bound and Kristel is wonderful with her. She bathes her, cooks her breakfast and engages with her and we feel very fortunate. And...the dog loves her...We love her and I would highly recommend her services.

Very caring, professional and knowledgeable. We were lucky to find her and have her take care of our dad.

Kristen is very professional and extremely helpful, flexible, and accommodating to our aging parents.  We feel blessed to have her.

Kristel is very dependable, honest, caring and loving. I would trust her with my loved one in a heartbeat. She's there when you need her and she goes above and beyond when needed. You would be lucky to have her caring for your loved one. She'd treat them as if they were her own family. If I ever need cared for I hope she's available for me. Kristel rocks!

A very caring person with a great personality. She takes her care giving seriously and uses her prior knowledge/skills/experience as a CNA and Dental Assistant to ensure her patient gets appropriate attention. If a medical condition occurs or worsens she contacts the appropriate personnel to tend to the patient without hesitation. She also performs light cleaning and cooking for her patients and loves their cats and dogs.  She indeed should be considered for opportunities as a Senior Care giver.

Kristel is my wife, she just spent 15 months taking care of her mother on home hospice. After her mom passed I spoke with the pastor for hospice and he said that he has seen a lot of care givers in his life but has never seen anyone do such a good job caring for there parents. I know I may be a little biased but my wife is the sweetest most compassionate person I have ever met. She is truly genuine and cares deeply for other people. You would be very well served to have her caring for your loved ones. She is very dependable and understands how important it is to take a care of yourself when caring for your parents. everybody needs a break eventually and she would be a good person to call on when you need one.

Kristel is very caring and kind, with her background in nursing she is knowledgeable and professional, she loves kids and animals and takes really great care, she took care of my son when I had to return to work and he thrived in her care, knowing her professionally and personally would recommend her highly.

She knowledgeable, caring, is not afraid to do what she has to do to care for there loved ones. Friendly and fits in with all personality. Takes direction easily and criticism without an issue. If my mother were alive she would be the one to care for her. I want her to care for me if ever needed. She is fun to be around, makes me laugh. She truly is the best. Will never have to worry with her around.

She is compassionate and caring. She has good communication skills and will advocate for your loved one when needed. She is attentive and takes good care of those she looks over. I would hire her to take care of my loved one.
