About Tammy

I always wanted to get into nursing, however, I had to wait until my daughters both graduated from high school. Once my youngest got into college I was able to go to nursing school. I have worked with geriatrics as well as with prisoners and addiction. I have enjoyed all aspects of my nursing career thus far and I am looking forward to working with CareLinx.

Shantell W.

$25.00/hour · Latrobe, PA
My name is Shantell. I am a proud mother of three wonderful adult children and blessed with three amazing grandchildren. I have been working in health care since a young age, starting off being a health care aide for my blind grandmother at the tender age of 8 years old. From there on I found my passion in life. During my years as working as a personal care aide, I had the opportunity to take care of my parents during their last days. In doing so, I was able to gain a personal insight on the importance of having the right person taking care of your loved ones, which gave me an even greater passion for the work I do. I realized the importance of giving each and every person who I take care of the same love and care as I gave my loved ones while taking care of them. As well as the respect and honor to have the opportunity to be a part of their life.
