About Chrissy

I have always had a great connection with the elderly and disabled. I have worked as a caregiver for 4 years and its the best job I've ever had. I have great people skills and I'm a great companion. I love spending time with the elderly and letting them know that someone still cares about them. I am a mom of 3 great children and I eventually hope to finish nursing school. I became a caregiver because I believe in my heart that is my purpose on this earth. I am very good at what I do and at the end of the day knowing I made someone's day a little better is the most rewarding part of being a caregiver.

Everyone I come in contact with loves to talk with me! I'm a very energetic person with lots of smiles. I provide care to others when they can't help themselves. I love what I do and have a passion for what I do. I like to make a difference in other people's life. Myself I believe the love and care you give to other person represents who you are as a person. I'm very dependable and I have no problem with working a lot of hours when needed, I'm always available. As many years as I have been a nursing assistant I have never had someone say anything negative about me. My bosses have always had great things to say about me as a person and an employee as well as my co workers too. I own my own vehicle with insurance and can do anything I am asked.
