About Christina

I think what makes a person a great Caregiver is someone who had compassion and respect for those they take care of. I'd like to say I fit in that category! My first experience of taking care of someone and all their daily needs was my grandmother. She was fighting cancer and the last month to her passing it was my mom, aunt, uncle, brother and I taking care if her in shifts of 12 hours. It really opened me up to wanting to be more there for other people. It's also what inspired me to become a registered nurse. I love everything about being a Caregiver. Sometimes it's not an easy job, but I always imagine putting myself in the families shoes because of what happened to my grandmother. I'm most proud of the fact that I'm doing so much with my life. I know when I finish my schooling to become a register nurse I'll be able to do so much more.

Hi, I'm Karen. I am a mature, single woman living in south coastal Encinitas. I am looking forward to hearing from families that are seeking help. I enjoy helping others, especially elders for whom I have the utmost respect, sympathy and genuinely care about. They are treasure troves of knowledge and full of wonderful life experiences. I meet new and wonderful families and I have become friends with almost all of my clients. I specialize in working with ambulatory victims of some form or stage of dementia/Alzheimer's or other mental illness. Also, I make a good companion for those who can no longer drive. And since I am an animal lover, I will readily care for any kind of pets as well. Again, I look forward to hearing from you to discuss how my background and experience can assist your loved ones and family. Most sincerely, Karen PS: my availability and rates are flexible.

I am a very loyal caregiver. I started my career taking care of my elderly mother until her last breath. Though I put my life on hold to care for my mother, it was a time I consider to be a blessing. It began my love for care giving. The most recent Home Care Provider was for a client-friend I served for over 7 years. I cared for him up until his very last breath. In the 7 years I worked for him I never called in sick. I feel my expertise is adapting to the clients needs not just in the physical, but emotionally, and by way of companionship. I enjoy the career of care-giving because it truly is a career that is far reaching and meaningful beyond my imagination.
