He found that the services Home Instead Senior Care provides is essential and vital to providing the independence, honor, dignity and respect that each and every one of our seniors deserve. His role as president of this franchise allows him to lead a team who shares his vision and passion to make this a reality.

My journey began in the field of nursing in 2016, where I graduated from a nursing program in my home country, Mexico. Upon arriving in the United States, I faced numerous challenges in my pursuit of a nursing career. Despite working in various jobs, I found myself yearning for fulfillment in a role that aligned with my true passion – taking care of people and making a positive impact on their lives.

My compassion for the elderly stems from the profound influence of my grandparents in my life. They played a significant role, shaping my values and instilling in me the importance of caring for others. It was this deep-seated compassion that eventually led me to Home Instead.

Joining the Home Instead team marked a turning point in my professional journey. Starting as a caregiver, I dedicated myself to providing compassionate and personalized care to those in need. Recognizing my commitment and potential, I was honored with the opportunity to step into the role of Recruitment and Engagement Coordinator.

In my current position, I am a key player in the hiring and onboarding journey for future caregivers. Beyond the administrative aspects, I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) actively involved in the orientation process. I take pride in working side-by-side with new caregivers, imparting hands-on personal care and safety practices, ensuring they are well-equipped to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients.

Crystal was born and raised in Gilroy Ca; there she began her career in senior care in 2012 working in assisted living facilities and memory care units. In 2015 she became a member of the Home Instead Senior Care team as a caregiver and in 2018 was given the title of Lead Caregiver. Eventually finding her role as the Client Care Coordinator, you will see Crystal out in the field performing quality assurance visits, introducing caregivers to our clients and their respected family members, and delivering personal protective equipment to our caregivers. She also plays a role in the orientation process as she works side by side with new caregivers teaching them hands on personal care and safety. Her goal for our aging community is to enrich their daily lives by helping them stay in their homes for as long as possible by creating a safe and happy environment that allows them to maintain the lifestyle they have always known.
