About Edith

I am a kind, loving, patient person. I never knew this field would be something that I enjoyed and love doing. I wish to be able to help a family one by one, show them that their family member is being well taken care of if they need help I am here and willing to help, I do not shy away from doing any type of work. I can cook daily, i can feed someone daily, i can change and shower someone daily I have experience doing this and I can do so much more for your family member. The reason I got into this field was close friend of mine who quickly became family had her ill mother move in with her I start helping out little by little than it became a daily thing and I loved it she had Alzheimers it was not easy but I found a way to work with her and I loved it seeing her and knowing she was in good hands and knowing I was helping my friend out who herself is an older woman, to lift some of the work and stress was a blessing for her and I loved every moment of it she would make me laugh and cry and it went both ways when we would laugh and hearing her stories was the best part. She sadly passed but she will forever be in my heart.

My name is Christina Lopez. I have been a caregiver for 10 plus years. I am very compassionate and love to help the elderly continue to be independent as much as they can in their own home. I have always loved helping others and enjoy spending my time with elderly. They always have such great stories from their life experiences. I was with my last patients for 7 years. In that time I grew to love them very much as if they were my own grandparents.
