Kristi S. Care Companion in Cottonwood, AZ 86326

My career was not in home care but with the GTE/Verizon in various customer service & supervisory positions 25 years until retirement. My college degree was Psychology. I have had care responsibilities with my mother during her cancer for several years through all phases including hospice. I feel I have a natural ability to care for others. My mother was a RN nurse for 40 years and feel I was affected by her kindness, tho she discouraged nursing as a career choice. I also worked in a nursing home while going to college and had great rapport with the elderly patients. Additionally I lived for 5 months with and cared for a critically ill co-worker and her 95 year old grandfather who resided with her. I fixed meals and provided trips to the doctor as well as companionship. Most recently I provided several years care or coordinated care for a spouse struggling with alcohol addiction and the ravaging effects of it. I've been retired for the last several years and am attempting re-entry into the work force in a field I have a natural aptitude for. I prefer working with the elderly as I have compassion for them and am a very sensitive caring person who was always close to grandparents.
