About Cristy

I describe myself as an outgoing, compassionate person with a ton of empathy. I started realizing I wanted to be a caregiver at the age of 9. I accompanied my mother to her job during the summers. She was the manager for Eastern Agency on Aging and provided weekly lunch and bingo activities for a group of elderly people. I really enjoyed helping people and the people I helped were extremely appreciative. I felt very rewarded, even at that young age. I had children young, became a CNA at the age of 23 and have been working in different settings with a geriatric population ever since.

What makes me a great care giver is that, I have the ability to listen to my client concerns and find ways to assist them. I am a great listener, an advocator and I get alone with people very well. I like treating my clients as people not object. Their happiness comes first. I became a caregiver because i feel like it is my calling. My passion for this field is something extraordinary. I grew up seeing so many family members suffered traumatically. Many of them faced a lot of psychological issues. I felt like it was my responsibility to go out there and learn the tools so I can direct them to a better path. What I like about being a caregiver is to see my clients smile alone with any other person I come across. I love making a difference into their lives. I love building rappor with them do they can trust me. A personal achievement I am proud of is having my daughter.
