About Kristin

My name is Kristin and I worked in EMS as a First Responder for 10 years so I'm skilled in ambulatory needs/proper transferring/assistive devices; itinerant work style, driving (especially large vehicles); I have a rudimentary knowledge of medical care/diseases/disorders/physical therapy/medications/hospice. I was my father's caretaker after his diagnosis of ALS. I also was a physical assistant to a young professional with muscular dystrophy for 2 years. My duties entailed assisting with his hobbies, PT, traveling assistance, pet care, cooking/cleaning/organizing. I also cared for my nephews for about two years before they hit school age and I was no longer needed. My own interests include crafts, refinishing furniture, playing guitar/singing, writing and photography. I am a natural caretaker, compassionate and receptive to individual needs. All my certifications have lapsed (emergency medical responder, CPR, EVOC (emergency vehicle operation), but can get CPR again if it's a must
