About Christopher

Kind, caring, and patient. Willing to listen and learn. I enjoy history, aviation, and railroads. I watch motorsports and football avidly. I've done companion care for 3 years officially, and was a live-in caretaker for 5 years before that voluntarily. I'm returning to being a Caregiver because I truly miss the time spent helping the elderly and providing them social interaction. I know seeing a younger person be genuinely interested in spending time with them can mean the world to them. I know it lifts burden and worry off their loved one's shoulders knowing someone cares. I enjoy the happiness and joy a break in a monotonous routine I can bring by being there. A fresh person to have a conversation with. To share their life story and interests with. Someone willing to and actively enjoys watching Old TV shows and movies with. That they've not been forgotten. The thing I am proud of moston my life, is fufilling the promise my mother made to my father. That he would not spend his last days in a nursing home. I gave her my word before she passed away in 2017 I would carry on that promise. My father passed away in 2020. Through compassion, love, and a whole lot of patience, he spent his last days in his own home.
