About Cristina

What I believe that makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I truly believe that whatever we do in life, it will come back to us, therefore if I treat someone with love, kindness, and respect, I will receive the same when it is my turn to receive the same care. When I first became a CNA I enjoyed the interaction I had with my patients. Then I later realized how great is the need for the elderly to receive care, and sadly not many people are interested in this type of job. So I decided to educate myself in medical related issues pertaining to the elderly care. One thing that I'm most proud is that I used my skills to personally care for my own mother, as well as my mother in law before they passed away.

Loving people makes me a great caregiver because love is an action word. I became a caregiver because I love caring for those not thought of. My greatest accomplishment was learning to love in spite of and getting vaccinated.

Hi! I'm Danica. I just moved to San Antonio from Hawaii. I love interior designing and admiring old, classic, and modern architectures. I'd love to visit Netherlands, UK, Scotland, and Bali. A clean and organized environment makes me happy and calm. I enjoy small "DIY" projects and currently making our house feel like home.
