About christopher

I began my career as a basic care giver after high school because I wanted to pay homage to my family, by helping other families. In working for various Assisted Living facilities, I felt I inherited a dozen grandparents! After having multiple ALS clients, and escorting them to their therapies, I became a Physical Therapist Aide, and body mechanics specialist. I then became a certified personal trainer to help clients before the onset of old-age, and in hopes of maintaining their physical independence. I am in the middle of writing my first book, entitled Maintaining Physical Independence to further explain what to expect from their bodies as they enter various wellness programs. I upgraded from being a basic care giver to a Home Healthcare Aide to further my understanding of various clients, and I pray my combine specialties serve my clients well.

'Essentially it is a lesson of love. Because if you can not love, you can not be a caregiver. \\" It's the greatest gift you can give another human being. To give yourself, to give your life for other people. I became a caregiver because i wanted a career that had the potential to make a difference in someones life. I enjoy making someone smile and doing little things to make a persons day better. Being a Caregiver/CNA for 10 years has helped me in so many ways, i have worked in Hospitals, Nursing homes, Private Duty , Hospice care and also with Disabled children. I love what I do. Taking care of people that need my help gives me joy in my heart. I feel it is very important to have someone in you life that truly cares and makes you feel important. A personal achievement I am proud of : Attained \\" Caregiver of the year award \\" by constantly maintaining excellence in my care to residents.
