Supporting the independence and well-being of seniors has been my life's work for over a decade. As a Licensed Practising Nurse, Certified Nursing Assistant, and Certified Home Health Aide, I provide comprehensive care ranging from medical management and personal care to meal preparation and light housekeeping. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure your loved one remains safe at all times. My approach is rooted in patience and empathy, particularly when navigating memory care challenges or de-escalating stressful situations. I prioritize earning trust to build a genuine connection with every individual I support. I maintain open communication through daily reports and regular updates to keep your family informed. Whether providing respite care or running errands, I am dedicated to making a positive, daily impact on your loved one's life. I look forward to bringing my heart and professional experience into your home.
Over the past 18 months, Kris provided companionship and other light care aid for both my father (88, Alzheimer’s) and mother (85, Parkinson’s) who were both living with me during this time. We began working with Kris based on a set schedule of a few times a week, but we ended up contacting her more often due to her dependability and the relationship she built with my parents. Her background working with dementia patients was invaluable as my father was in an advanced stage of the disease. Where my father could get restless and agitated dealing with certain personalities, he never had any problems with Kris as she handled his care flawlessly based on her years of experience working with other dementia patients. Her personality and demeanor allowed her to create a great relationship with both my parents from the start. This also allowed my family the personal space we needed at any given time and, in many instances, on short notice. We will miss Kris and know that whomever she works with next will be lucky to have her!
