Hello, Im Christina, I am a great caregiver because I am compassionate and have a very good amount of patience. I understand what most people are going through and have the ability to be very sympathetic towards each individual and their own unique situation. Everyone needs a little assistance every now and then and helping others in something I take pride in. I treat my clients with much respect and make sure they are happy and comfortable. It makes me feel better about myself knowing that I can help make someone's life a little easier and put a smile on their face.

Hi. My name is Carol Darrow and I have been a caregiver for most of my career, doing everything from ADL's to cooking, cleaning, laundry and household chores to personal care; shaving, bathing, oral care and toileting. Helping people is my forte' with listening being my best skill. I respect others, which is something I view as sadly diminishing in our society today.
