About Christine

Hi! My name is Chrissy and I'm a wife and a mom of two teenage boys. Besides raising my boys, we are a family of 10 goats, a ton of chickens (fresh eggs!!), and three dogs, all adopted. I have been in emergency care for 10+ years and love giving back to my community. I currently work in the town I grew up in. I have made lifelong relationships while being there and consider them a part of my family. My very first job out of high school was a CNA at Beecher Anchorage. I formed some pretty strong bonds with some of the residents along with their families. I love helping take care of people and know that I am making a difference in someone else's life. It's important to me that I create a strong bond with my patient and also their family.

I started young as a medical assistant..continued working in Healthcare on and off for nearly 30 yrs. Came home to be caregiver to my parents and continued in caregiving since their death. I am laid back, patient, witty and out right funny at times. I take my caregiver responsibility seriously. I'm punctual and dedicated. I have a soft spot for the elderly so my clients quickly become my friends. My belief is that all people should be shown respect and compassion. I am an animal lover but am allergic to cats.

Moreover, I have a track record of giving elderly and child care and immensely enjoy each moment of my work. When I help rehabilitate people, It re-ensures me that i'm doing a great job to provide for my clients. I've worked numerous jobs helping others, the best part is listening to their concerns, building a relationship with the client and their families.
