About Christabel

I am a matured woman with a fifteen years work experience as a licensed caregiver( CNA) and also a licensed medication aide. I am also a professional cook. My compassion, empathy and the love I have for people especially the old and needy is a great assert to my work as a caregiver. Being a medical assistant and medication aide has given me more experience and knowledge to care for people with both medical and physical needs. My ethnic background, travel and educational background enables me to easily care for people of different backgrounds, ages, culture and religions. The work experience I have had both as a medical assistant and medication aide is also a plus to my job as a caregiver. I am literate (can read and write) and can communicate and follow instruction in English. The last but not the least:I am trustworthy, honest, dependable reliable and caring. I am thorough but careful and can multitask with no difficulty. You can trust me with caring for your loved ones

I became a caregiver since the year 2000 after I graduated from Classic Nurses Academy and took my board Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) licensure examination . Naturally, I'm compassionate , trustworthy, reliable, punctual on assignments , dedicated and above all very patience, I also love to make a difference in the life of others and put smiles on their faces, with that aspect of motivation in mind , I also helps the elderly at the volunteer food distribution in my community with whatever problems and needs that they may have. WORKING EXPERIENCE : I started working for Maxim Healthcare in January 2000. Through that, I connected with one of my clients who had Parkinson's disease. I worked with this client for a while until his children decided to hire me as a private caregiver and moved me with the client from Virginia to Colorado, because the children wanted their father to be closer to them. I took care of this client until he passed away. I returned back to Virginia after his death and started another work with Care Options in 2002. I have dealt with many clients with different needs and disabilities for the past eighteen years . PRIVATE CARE: I have being providing private care for as many as 35 to 40 different clients and families within Virginia and Maryland.
