About Shawanna

I became a caregiver due to the death of both of my grandmothers. I enjoy being a caregiver because it allows me to give love and attention to those in need of patience, love and understanding. Being a caregiver is my passion. Throughout my years as a caregiver I have the opportunity to create long lasting relationships with some very loving and caring families. My personal achievement was being able to get experience not only in the caring aspect of a caregiver, but also to gain the knowledge and understanding the medical insurance , as well as the Hospice aspect of a caregiver. Knowing this allows me to better understand my patients and their situations and to provide excellent care. I have experience as a caregiver/home health aide, CNA, Hospice CNA, medical billing and coding, and medical administrative assistant.

I became an care giver at the age of 14 i have 5 sisters and 1 brother in the oldest so i always had to take care of them being a care giver but it really wasn't until my sick grandmother moved in with us she was bed bound nurses use to come to our home and help her with all her everyday living needs i would often help the nurses with the duties and when they weren't there i would take care of my grandmother. I like the fact that i can help someone that's unable to help them self while being compassionate and making them happy. an accomplishment im happy with is getting certified as a nursing assistant im already a pca, hha. im a very fun out going caring person i truly enjoy being a caregiver and when i get older an cant help myself i hope to have someone take as good care of me as i took of other people. My grandmother passed away but i no she would be very happy to see im still continuing working as a CAREGIVER.
