Hi, I’m Christina. I have been taking care of children since I was a teen. I have three children of my own and a grandson. I have experience taking care of non verbal kids on the spectrum as well. I also was a CNA for four years, would be open to senior care as well. I can do household stuff like laundry, cleaning, making dinner as well as travel.

Showed up on time and was very professional.

I’ve been a CNA since the beginning of the year and have always had a heart for caregiving. As the oldest of four, I naturally took on the role of caretaker for my younger siblings, which helped shape my nurturing and patient personality. I love caring for others and making sure they feel safe, seen, and supported. Whether it’s helping with kids, assisting seniors, or providing household support, I move with compassion, responsibility, and love. Babysitting comes naturally to me—this is more than a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.
