About Christine

My decision to become a caregiver came from personal experience. A few years ago my mother became very ill suffering from a disease that caused extreme weekness and rapid onset of dementia. It was fortunate that I could be there to help my Dad take care of her many needs. To give him a break I went to their home almost everyday, I learned firsthand how important the caregiver roll is to a person or family in need. After my mom passed, I became a volunteer at a nearby assisted living senior center and chose to work in a memory care unit. That experience cemented my desire to work in the senior care field. From there I left my career as a Medical Lab Tech and became a caregiver. It has proven to be very rewarding and in some small way brings me closer to my Mom.

I am a certified nursing assistant and medical technician with highly organized, good emotional and professional skills. My interactions with clients/residents has given me so much experience in this field that i'm very willing to share and care for those in need of my services. Working as a nursing assistant for more than five years has been one of the greatest thing I have ever enjoyed in life and will like to pass onto others. I work really well individually, with a team and also got the ability to multitask.
