Description
Hi, my name is Cristina and I am a female home carer with four years of experience in hourly care. My clients often describe me as caring, friendly, and helpful, and I take pride in providing high-quality care to each and every person I work with.
My primary motivation for caring is the fulfillment I feel from helping people lead independent lives. I understand that the people I work with have unique needs and goals, and I always strive to develop care plans that meet those needs while promoting their independence.
In terms of my skills and experience, I have worked with clients with poor or declining mobility, those who are bedbound, and those with anxiety, depression, and mild cognitive impairment. Some of my strengths include companionship, cooking, laundry, cleaning, and administrative tasks. Additionally, I am comfortable working with pets, including cats, dogs, fish, and birds.
When I'm not working, I enjoy walking, cooking and baking, gardening, socializing, and reading. If you or a loved one is in need of hourly care, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I would be honored to work with you and provide the care and support you need to thrive.
