About Christopher

Hi! I'm Chris, and I first started caregiving in 2021 after financial aid issues caused me to take a gap year from pursuing my nursing degree. I'm now back in school full-time, which is why I'm looking for a part-time caregiving job. I think the thing that attracted me to being a caregiver is the fact that I enjoy working closely with people. I'm also deeply empathetic and committed to providing the best care I can to my charges. The thing I enjoy the most about it is that even though the work can be grueling, it gives me a sense of fulfillment. Also, I plan to work in intensive care once I finish my BSN, so it's good preparation for my future career.

I assisted a wheelchair-bound man with nonverbal cerebral palsy in his day to day life. I cooked and fed him his meals, I took care of his bathing and grooming habits (shaving, haircuts, etc.), I performed light housekeeping for him, I administered his medication, and I assisted him in using the restroom. I also provided him companionship and ran any errands he had for me.

I became a caregiver because I care about the well-being of the elderly. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel good inside. I am dependable, responsible, and honored to take care of the patients I meet and have a positive impact on their lives. I have up-to-date CNA and BLS certifications. I also have 6 years' experience working with the elderly, assisting them with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting etc. I get a sense of satisfaction from helping patients feel comfortable and loved.
