About Shannon

Hello! My name is Shannon and I am currently a nursing student at the University of South Carolina. I am in my senior year and will be graduating early in December of 2019. I have a passion and desire to help others and have the experience to back up this passion. I have two years of clinical experience in various units with various patients such as working with stroke patients, dementia patients, and critical care individuals. What I love most about being a caregiver is the connection you form with individuals and families that truly make the difference in the care provided. I have references and a resume that can be provided if needed, but please feel free to contact to me as I would love to be of service in any way I can be!

I love people and think we should all be treated with respect and kindness. I started caregiving due to the fact of both of my son's great-grandparents were diagnosed with dementia. I did not want them to be placed in a home or separated. Then after both of them passed away, I sadly went back to my wrecker service. Worked only two weeks and decided this is not what God wants me to do. So I went to work for Kelly's assisted living as an on-call coordinator and doing PCA work during the day. Then Mr Hartman came into my life he suffered from MS completely quadriplegic I was told I would be lucky if he lived 5 years. He became a father to me I kept him alive with the grace of God for over 20 years. He was a very large man that was bed bound but everybody was amazed that he only had one bed sore the entire time I took care of him. I do not have a problem with any pets and helping take care of them. I also will help your loved one with grocery shopping all ADLs and housekeeping.I love to make people smile. I have a quirky sense of humor. I also worked in a facility under memory Care. I just hope as I age someone will care for me as I have cared for the people in my life. With compassion, love, kindness and understanding. Thank you for considering me to care for your loved one. [?]

What makes me a great caregiver is that I'm able to understand the needs of the clients before it is anticipated. Anticipation is important in healthcare because it alleviates the guesswork for the client the family and those that are involved in the care of the loved one.
