Christine’s Bio
I am not a caregiver by training but by experience. I have been married for more than 25 years to a man who has suffered with rheumatoid arthritis since he was a child. When we met, he had already undergone bilateral hip and knee replacements. Since our marriage, he has endured four major surgeries (including three joint revisions), several minor procedures, and a stroke. He is not fully incapacitated, but over the years, I have been his sole caregiver, providing bathing, toileting, dressing, feeding, and wound care, in addition to caring for our dogs (six at the moment!) and maintaining most household chores.
Currently I am a personal assistant/shopper for a senior resident of St. Mary’s Manor. It is my privilege to have established an enduring friendship with her, and I usually spend some time with her after running errands just to keep her company. I also provided housecleaning and companionship to another resident there, who sadly has passed away.
I thoroughly enjoy engaging seniors in conversation and helping them with household tasks, especially if it helps them to maintain their independence. I have a current BLS certificate and through my own experiences with my husband, I am comfortable with personal care.
I am happy to answer any questions and help you in finding the perfect fit for the care of your loved one!
