About Brittany

Compassionate, and well trained care giver that has been in my field since 2014. I've always been dedicated to family care, and in depth home assistance. I work with only one family at a time to keep my schedule flexible, and helpful to my clients. I am highly rewarded in my job, and appreciate every family as my own. I advocate for my patients needs, and care at all times. I keep myself personally separated from outside contact to stay on top of my health for patients health to be of the utmost importance. I have kept numerous patients out of harms way, and given them extra time with family members with my outstanding expertise. Often assisting to encourage happy longevity to the lives of my patients, giving you more time with your loved ones.

Comfort Keepers
I loved the job, and all the clients. I was always treated well, and took courses through the work place. I had to leave to find a closer location to myself. Great experience, wonderfully loving environment, and amazing clients. I was in charge of giving meds, keeping up with schedules, writing notes for families, and transportation. I also helped clean, cook, and handle ADL's. Upon completion of class I earned a certificate to be a CPI for combative patients, and special training to help them.

Sheryl Shamer
My very first care giver experience where I learned a great deal. Sheryl is an extremely loving wife, and wonderful teacher. She trained me to handle ADL's, and patiently taught me the importance of adding love to each task. Working under her guidance was a memory I cherish forever. Her husband George was the most wonderful man, and I miss him everyday. We did nails for George because of his Alzheimer's, worked with his decline to assist in his comfort. I regularly had a flexible schedule to fit any needs they had. I always kept clear, and thoughtful notes on our days, and nights. It was truly the best learning experience, and it's brought me to my career that I love so deeply. Sheryl's home is where I found the compassion, and passion to be the caregiver I am today.
