Description
Hello, my name is Christina Y. I am a British female in my fifties, and have over 20 years experience working in care. I have worked as a live in carer, respite carer, and for seven years I worked as a care supervisor for an agency.
I have vast experience in all areas of dementia and Alzheimer's, Huntington's, MND, MS, strokes, Parkinson's, the autism spectrum, mental health, Angelman syndrome, plus other conditions. I cared for my father who suffered from Motor Neurone Disease, and my mother who suffered from Parkinson's.
I have many certificates and have attended seminars on most of the above. I also have a car, a current Advanced DBS certificate and indemnity insurance. I am registered with NACAS.
I am hard working, very patient, empathetic and enjoy making peoples lives that little bit better through care and kindness.
I have years of experience in palliative care, end of life care, and suprapubic catheter care.
Unfortunately, I am very allergic to animals (I have mild asthma) so sadly, I cannot go into a house with pets, nor a house where pets will be visiting whilst I am there. I do apologise for this.
I would love to come to meet you and bring my certificates etc at any time, so that if you were to need a carer at short notice in the future, you will already have met me.
Hoping to hear from you,
Christina (Tina)

Christina cared for my mother during her last few difficult years. Christina is a wonderfully patient, understanding and caring person. I truly feel that my mother couldn't have been in better hands and can't recommend Christina highly enough.
