Meet Kristina
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
With over 20 years of experience working with children and adults with special needs, I have a deep passion for providing compassionate and tailored care. My most rewarding role was as a Community Support Facilitator, where I assisted adults with special needs in daily tasks, errands, and medical appointments, including G-tube administration. I hold a degree in Psychology and am near completion of a degree in Computer Science, which has further enhanced my problem-solving skills and attention to detail. As my own children are older, I now enjoy babysitting and find fulfillment in helping families with a variety of needs. I’m also pet-friendly, having raised a wide range of animals, including chickens, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs, so I’m comfortable with any pets. Additionally, I’m familiar with navigating military bases, thanks to my husband's service in the United States Marine Corps.
