About Christina

Both of my parents were physically handicapped, so I grew up with caregivers in my home and saw the difference a good one can make. They enabled my folks to stay in the home and raise me. I originally went into the field because I wanted to give some of that back. It also had the advantage of a somewhat flexible schedule that worked around raising my own family. I really like knowing I can make a difference to someone, allowing them to stay in their own home, and giving peace of mind to their loved ones who don't have to worry so much about them when they have a good caregiver. I am currently enrolled in Chippewa Valley Technical College as a pre-program nursing student. I will soon be cpr certified and by December 2014, I will also have my C.N.A. certification as well. I hope to be a Registered Nurse as soon as possible. Beyond the daily care of my own parents for over 30 years, I have 2 years experience doing in home elderly care. It's been awhile, but I know I can step right back into it. I have (mostly) raised my family and it was time to make some changes for the better, so I decided to see if I could get into college. I am proud that I was able to get perfect scores on 2 of the 3 tests required, and proud that I am entering into a career that I feel like makes a difference. I hope you will consider me for your caregiver needs.
