About Chris

I have received training in both physical therapy and hospital settings. My expertise in Kinesiology aids in addressing mobility concerns with home bound patients. During my various hospital placements, I have worked with all age groups. Although I was unable to complete my nursing degree, I earned valuable skills that would positively impact my role as a caregiver. Personally, I would enjoy being a caregiver, because I always enjoyed the patient care side of nursing. Patience to attend to each individual's needs is not always afforded in a large hospital setting. The in-home setting allows the building of a relationship, so that the patient can build trust in me as the caregiver.

I love be a help to others especially our seniors who have sacrifice and paved the way for this generation. I believe it is our duty to give back to those who spent their lifetime helping others. I have so much respect for our seniors and believe they deserve to live the rest of their days feeling loved and appreciated. I have dedicated my life and time in making sure I pay my respects to those who can no longer help themselves due to old age or otherwise.
