About Christina

My ethics are inate. I expect to work with trustworthy, patient and compassionate teammates. . I believe clear communication is key. The prior and dependability are needed to have the best caregiving possible. I know that people like to be understood, as their lives are so everchanging. When a driving privledge is removed and eyesight and mobility declines, I have helped others feel better by giving them enough space be heard and validated. My experience has taught me to take care of my need's and when my needs are met that brings high quality to my work. When it comes to caregiving I have a lot of experience at being patient. I took care of twins. In a 24 hour period, besides the normal daily needs, one was on twelve different medications up to four times a day, two to four breathing treatments, dietary needs via feeding tube . I'm easily adaptable. I have good boundaries. I am flexible, and realize that each person is unique and I love to learn and take care of their needs. It is very rewarding helping those in need, I enjoy to give the best quality care I can give.
