Katrina H.

Hello, my name is Shameka Stringer. I am a current resident of Albany, Ga/Lee County. I just previously moved from Birmingham Alabama. My hometown resides in Arlington Ga. I am a mother of 5 kids, whom I love dearly! I have been working as a Patient Care Assistant for many years off and on, which I love. I started as a teenager with my grandmother who was disabled and blind. I was her in-home stay granddaughter for many years. I was trained through other nurses and doctors of how to care for her needs . Baths, medication administering, assisting with doctor visits, cooking and cleaning for her, basically I were her eyes of safe keep. When she was transferred over to the nursing home facility, I also became a volunteer companion sitter there to assist her along with other patients. I loved what i did for her as well as others without pay. It was enjoyment of being in the presence of the elderly and being able to help them when they couldn't help themselves. I love what I do, and that's helping others.

Hello world My name is Ashley Gibbs, I'm originally from Miami, Florida where I spend my whole life there. I raised by my grandmother, seeing her struggle around the house motivated me to help her in anyway that I can. She encouraged me to be respectful, honest and to never give up. I helped around the neighborhood with the youth and the elderly, I was a part time caregiver to a lady Name Viola, she depended on me to give her love, trust and a helping hand. I love to help others who are in need no matter what it is, sometimes just listening to someone problems or even achievements I'm always one phone call away. I move to Albany, Ga August 2019 to make a change in scenery, I transferred my career at Walgreens to the location up here. You meet all types of people, until one day I met a courageous, cheerful and loving lady, who was disabled it was something about her that I had to help her. She began telling me what she was going through and I couldn't do nothing but listen and the fact that she was blind everyone would take advantage of her I took her in for 3 months made sure she ate, shower, I brushed her hair made sure kept up with her medications, hygiene and we also went out to get her some fresh air. She told me That I was an amazing caregiver and others would love to have me in there presence. She said Ashley I may can not see but your energy is so pure. I'm here to give others that same kind of happiness. I live by the saying LOVE CONQUERS ALL
