About Christy

Experience: 10 yrs

I'd describe my personality as assertive, positive empathetic, intelligent, motivated, down to earth, generous, flexible. I like caring for seniors because they are knowledgeable about life, good listeners, hardworking. I'm looking for a job that I can help someone stay in their home throughout their years of aging. I started caring for seniors when I was 15yrs old. I began in long term care as a CNA assist in 1998. . I have over 25yrs experience. In my spare time, I like to do yard work, cook, clean, spend time with my family and cats. One thing you should know about me is I'm skilled , experienced, dependable, and able to do any task whether it be healthcare related or household chores. My skills include everything from trach care, gastric tube and catheter care, wound care, using the mechanical lift or gait belt, giving showers, incontinent care, feeding, dressing, shaving, transport to appts, medication set up and administration. CNA and CPR current. Open availability.

Christy cared for my mom for 3 yrs. She provided care with kindness and insured dignity and respect at all times. She was adept at dealing with frustration, agitation, and memory loss and maintained patience and respect. Care was provided at my mom's pace. Christy showed great initiative. She demonstrated strong, effective communication, developing a communication book, med logs, leaving detailed notes, etc. to insure all caregivers were aware of issues. Her nursing background was evident in all care aspects and she was attentive to both verbal and nonverbal cues as well as checking vitals for physical issues ea. shift. Christy was organized and trustworthy as well as adaptable and flexible, covering shifts, staying late, etc. She was never found sitting and was always cleaning (inside and outside) or organizing the work environment when mom was sleeping. Good stamina and able to perform lifting, positioning, transferring, and assisting with mobility. Very attentive and detail-oriented, always looking for safety issues and creating signage for O2, masks, hand hygiene etc. She reported mental and physical changes to me ea shift. She has a range of skills and helped with meal prep, housekeeping, first aid, and home maintenance tasks.
