About Christy

I have always been the caretaker in my large family, often anticipating someone's needs before they need it. Both the physical and emotional well-being of a soul is absolutely related and obviously super important to their overall health and happiness. Improving, easing or helping someone in any way I possibly can, to me, is rewarding and fulfilling. Stubborn personalities can be challenging, but they have to be more stubborn than I when it comes to their well-being, hygiene or needs. Though I do not boss or demand of them, I can be pretty convincing. Safety, however, is NOT taken lightly and will be corrected and or addressed promptly. In my experience with caring for the elderly, i have found that they have the best stories, give the best advice and offer different perspectives on any given subject. My goal/wish is that I can make them laugh, smile or give them comfort in any capacity.

I am patient and can provide companionship, whether it is by talking with each other or just sitting in each others presence. I know it can be hard taking care of someone or just how much the stress can be, I also know how rewarding it is when you can grow a bond with someone.
