About Christine

I grew up on a small island off the Coast of Maine and I have grown up with a great sense of caring for people. When my husband was diagnosed with ALS, I was with him every day and helped with his care. I slept in a recliner chair for 3 years so that he would never be alone. And I would do it again if I had to! I have always given all of myself to whatever job I was doing, and I do not know how to do it any other way.

Experience & Education

Frances Collins
I was a Personal Assistant to a Private family and my job began with them in Maine and I moved to Tucson in 2004 when Frances Collins moved here. My duties included maintaining the home,supervising employees including contractors, preparing the families meals. When Frances Collins was out of town, I was in charge of taking care of the function of the home and taking care of the pets. In Maine I had worked for 13 years for John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston and only left that job to take the full time position with Frances Collins. While in Tucson I met and married my husband Von who sadly was diagnosed with ALS himself and he passed away at the end of February. I also have worked for a family in Tucson taking care of their mother and father and have a letter of reference from them.

I have worked as a Caregiver for 25 yrs. I was a Transportation Driver for 8 years. In 2008-2009 worked as Lincare Oxygen Manager in New Mexico. I have a heart for Seniors and love to hear their stories. No one should have to be alone when health is declining especially if families can't be available.
