About Christina

Sorry I do not know how to upload a photo plus I am 50 and gray! My gramma has always been my hero so when it was time to care for her I did! Then about 10 years ago I married a man whose son had muscular dystrophy and needed full-time care. He went to Heaven on Christmas Eve 2017 and I was able to be there until his final breath! Now I am a single mom of a kindergartner and learning the flexibility of hybrid school. Jan 4 she goes full time and I would love to find someone to care for and a family to help! I know it is hard being a caregiver 24/7 so even if it is a once in while care that is great to give you rest!

Experience & Education

Mom of completly disabled son

Aug 2010 - Dec 2017
Self
From August 2010 to my stepson's last breath I was his primary caregiver. Doing all things for him and giving him the best life possible. He did not like lifts and so I had to lift him myself. I did all from preparing his meals to bathing and cleaning him. He was able to use the toilet and also feed himself.

Care giver to my aging gramma

Jan 1989 - Jan 2009
Gramma
Provided care for my grama since I was 19. She lived with me for 10 years although she could not drive she was able to do most other things on her own. About 7 years later she was diagnosed with COPD and began to decline slowly. Then breaking her right femur and left ankle put her in a chair and giving her the best life possible became my goal.

My personality traits conducive to my caregiving profile are compassion, empathy, honesty, not excluding strength of life experience. My experience with caregiving provides the opportunity to cultivate my humanity and understanding of the human condition. My pride originates from knowing I can make a difference in those individuals who face physical limitations and the potential neurological disorders associated with an aging population.
