I have been a caregiver for 10 years. I enjoy this profession to be able to help residents succeed in their everyday lives.

1: patience, respectful, honest, caring. I am patience because people who need care take longer time to complete tasks. Good caregivers need patience to deal with anything from an elderly person. 2: it's my passion. I enjoy taking care of elderly people and would like to help others. I like older adults and feel I can get along with them. 3: what I enjoyed most is that I get to help families take care and spend time with the elderly. With me they learn new things and don't feel neglected. 4: personal achievement- I get creative when I have to, flexibility, determination. I assist with activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring and getting meals according to plan. Encourage residents to do as much of their own.

I love helping others. I started off providing respite relief for a family friend who needed a break. And then went on to work in a facility as a caregiver. I am most proud of being professional and dependable. I love building g trust with my clients and being able to help them realize that I care and provide my undivided attention.

Hello! My name is Shania, like the famous country singer Ms Twain! I'm a dog mom, a college student studying criminal justice and exploring the healthcare field. Does anyone needs or know someone who needs a personal caregiver? Im newly certified BUT have 2 years and a half experience and looking to switch to in home care for more flexibility since I'll be going back to school soon for phlebotomy next. I currently work at a hospital as a healthcare technician in the Emergency Department. I'm CPR/BLS certified. I am a mandatory reporter for both adult and child abuse/ neglect. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID as well as the Flu shot. I can help out with mostly about anything.

I also have full coverage insurance so I can assist with driving and errand runs with no issues. I can provide certain documents for all of these things and certifications if needed. Please let know just spreading the word. Thank you!
