Kristen’s Bio

My passion in life is assisting families in caring for their most important assets (children, seniors, pets, homes, clothing, etc.).

I have been serving as a temporary house manager in Los Angeles. My responsibilities are to maintain a spotless, calm, safe and happy environment for a five bedroom/3 bathroom home. I happily manage recycling, minor repairs, outdoor maintenance, inventory, cooking two meals per day, shopping, meal planning, event planning, moving assistance, laundry, etc.

I was trained by a Donna Karan specialist in high-end fabric care/laundering.

I have extensive senior care experience. I started volunteering with seniors through a program doing arts and crafts in the mornings. I then served as an activities assistant at the largest nursing facility in Illinois. They sent me to several trainings on activities and care for individuals with dementia and alzheimer's. I have experience with both men and women and enjoy even the most curmudgeon personality.

I am a good cook, maintain a clean/organized environment, can discuss most any topic, play cards, love puzzles, walks, music, reading and any other activities a senior is capable and would like to participate.

I've been trained by LPNs to provide all the care and safety their role entails in a dementia assisted living facility.

I can't wait to learn how I can help you and your loved one!
