Kristina’s Bio
Hi! My name is Kristina. I have been a caregiver/companion for 6 years. I helped a woman who had supranuclear palsy for almost four years. I coordinated and took her to medical and other appointments and helped with all daily living tasks, along with outings to museums, plant nurseries and festivals. I was also a caregiver/companion for two years for a couple who had Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. I managed their home by doing laundry, cleaning, gardening and anything that needed to be done. We had many outings to movies, plant nurseries and shopping. I eventually transitioned them into a retirement home so they could be closer to their daughters. We all keep in contact to this day. I also occasionally help a young family with three children when they need me. Their oldest has a rare autoimmune disease which causes occasional seizures. I have outstanding references for all of these jobs. I am CPR certified and have taken first aid courses. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Oregon State University. I have three grown children and three dogs, so I love helping people and taking care of animals!
