About Shamia

My name is Shamia I've been doing this type of work on and off since about 2009 and I must say I love it. I love working with others and love to see the expression on faces when they see you helping them. When working with others like this you have to have a lot of experience and that's one of my good skills that I have patience.

I took care of my sick mother until she passed away. Later, a friend introduced me to the field of caregiving. Though I had formerly been a school teacher, caregiving fit like a glove. A client once asked me why I chose this profession, and I told her that I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I offer personal care, housekeeping services, and companionship. When my client was dying, I held her hand the entire time, not knowing that the daughter had entered the room and observed my action. After her death I received a note from the daughter describing how she had been touched by my action. As a former teacher, I am punctual, compassionate, empathetic, and sentimental; I laugh and cry with my clients. My current job involves caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes. I have recently been providing a client with personal hygiene in the morning through CareLinx.

Since a very young age I have always been passionate in helping and caring for others, I love making people laugh and smile. I realized that caring for people was my calling once I started volunteering to care for homeless Veterans and family members. I believe a good caregiver is someone who treats the Client as their #1 priority; Being truthful, loyal, and always patient; Passionate, dependability, pleasant, humble, being a good listener, observant and always being on time. Being able to work with tough clients and knowing how to adjust your approach to the client. Allowing the client privacy and listen to what they say. Treat the client as if their one of your family members.
