About Shirley

What makes me a great caregiver is how the interaction between the patient and I goes smoothly. I try to understand their way of life and I add the essential things needed to make it a better way of life for Her. My attraction to being a caregiver was how I loved taking good care of those who were not able to. What I enjoy the most about being a great caregiver is bringing the patient back to their usual self or close if possible. My personal achievement that I'm proud of was my previous patient. Help her solve her eating problems, she exercised more often and looked very healthy to how she used to be when I started taking care of her.

I have compassion for people and i have firsthand experience. I have my son who is 25 and autistic and still lives with me putting him in a home is not an option. I understand that people always choose to stay in their homes over a nursing home. I love people and my goal is making them comfortable and happy.
