About Cris

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am interested in working with seniors mainly due to my own personal experience with the elderly coupled with my passion for helping others. My experience comes from joyfully investing my time in the care of my mother who suffers from Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). I have taken care of her since the beginning of her degenerative illness. As a compassionate care giver I exhibit a strong capacity for understanding their needs and limitations. I have core skills in scheduling and reminding people about their medications, being very cautious with the instructions and contraindications. My experience has also taught me the importance of being able to maintain conversations of a vast variety. Most importantly, I understand the respect we all owe to the elderly and their special needs, interests, likes, dislikes and limitations. I am a very curious, active, intelligent person, and a committed hard worker. Your loved ones will be well cared for with patience, tenderness and respect.

Cris is a WONDERFUL worker, but more importantly human being. We are working together on a writing project, and in just a few weeks of meeting I feel like we're old friends. Her story is truly incredible, and the work ethic that she applies to any and all opportunities is truly admirable. She is dedicated to providing the best possible life for herself and her daughter, and I'm so thankful that they are both in my life. Any employer would be beyond lucky to have Cris responsible for the looking after a person or home. Cris has immense empathy and persistence, resulting in perfectionist-quality care from the dedicated hours she puts into her pursuits.
