Hi, my names Christina I've been a caregiver for about 2 years. I first found my passion for caregiving working in an Adult Family Home working with Adults with Developmental Disabilities, I then moved on and got my Home Care Aid License and started working with Eldery Adults in their homes. I've worked with a variety of clients ranging with needs of light housekeeping and companion care to clients on Hospice. I have a very bubbly and warm personality, you'll rarely find me without a smile on my face. I'm a compassionate and caring Caregiver. I'm neat and tidy, I'm self motivated, and timely. I would love the opportunity to meet with your family to see if my caregiving style and experience meets you or your families needs. **I live in Vader but am willing to travel up to 35 miles

The world exists upon the kindness showed by others, and that this kindness keeps alive the souls of those needing care. What I like about being a caregiver is that, for clients who cannot do many of the things they used to do, like running around and getting things done to take care of their families--life now begins anew based purely upon things that matter now today-- the worth, the thoughts, and the amount of attention that is paid toward them. This is a time of really focusing only on the present moment, and it takes a certain degree of concentration even to do that, sometimes. They are now the person who need this the most. My greatest personal achievements are when clients, who experience a decrease in function, and sometimes can hardly move or talk, are the most appreciative for my attentiveness to understand them. The story of the Good Samaritan identifies a good neighbor as one who shows kindness, and the rewards write upon the heart and soul. Caregivers are to the aging population a group who recognize that aches and pains are not going to go away. What some call a disadvantage, or disability serve, in many ways, to be an advantage because we shift our focus and attention toward what is really important in life-- people and how they are treated. I am only one of many like-minded caregivers who believe that a moment of clarity with loved ones--paying attention to the good in the moment--is the same as finding diamonds in your own backyard. Thanks for hiring through the Carelinx network!
