About Christy

I am a 40-year-old mother of four, very down to earth. I am currently a medical transcriptionist which I do on my own time. I am a very old soul, which makes it easy for me to be a caregiver. I enjoy listening to stories, music of times passed, and old movies. I have never had a complaint when it comes to my interests and the elderly or handicap, we get along great! I love doing hair and nails for my clients to make them feel better, love having a cup of coffee and talking, I'm a great cook (my kids and husband can attest to that :)), and I thoroughly enjoy helping, it is the one thing I can say I was meant to do! I do not mind cleaning, assisting to the restroom, bathing, or just being company. I can do grocery errands, doctors appointments, medications, certain diets (diabetic myself), or just being there for support. I lost both of my parents, but I did care for them also before passing. If you have any more questions just ask!
