About Cristina

What I believe that makes me a good caregiver is the fact that I truly believe that whatever we do in life, it will come back to us, therefore if I treat someone with love, kindness, and respect, I will receive the same when it is my turn to receive the same care. When I first became a CNA I enjoyed the interaction I had with my patients. Then I later realized how great is the need for the elderly to receive care, and sadly not many people are interested in this type of job. So I decided to educate myself in medical related issues pertaining to the elderly care. One thing that I'm most proud is that I used my skills to personally care for my own mother, as well as my mother in law before they passed away.

---Moving to Germany this summer; no longer taking any new clients. Hi! I'm Danica. I just moved to San Antonio from Hawaii. I love interior designing and admiring old, classic, and modern architectures. I'd love to visit Netherlands, UK, Scotland, and Bali. A clean and organized environment makes me happy and calm. I enjoy small "DIY" projects and currently making our house feel like home.

$20.00/hour · San Antonio, TX
My name is April. I've been a caregiver for a little over twenty years. Taking care of others is a real passion for me. I treat my patients how I want to be treated when it's my time. When I'm with my patient they receive my full attention if that means sitting and just listening to their stories or holding their hand and calming their fears. I bring all my experience and compassion in with everyone I care for.
