About Christina

I am a compassionate caregiver with over twenty-one years of nursing experience. I attribute my desire to become a nurse to having been the big sister to a brother with physical and mental special needs. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the human connection as I thoroughly enjoy helping others.

I have been a personal caregiver for over 6 years and I thoroughly enjoy and love the elderly. I first had the previlege of caring for my late husband. I see caregiving job as a ministry to give back to those who have given so much in their lifetime. In addition to providing companionship, I can help monitor medications, prepare delicious meals, keep home and laundry clean. I can transport my client to doctor's appointment as necessary. My main focus is to attend to the needs of each individual on a personal level, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
