About Shelly

I decided to go to nursing school in 1998 because I loved taking care of people. I also loved the science and research side of it too. Being a caregiver in any capacity, weather as a nurse or other is very rewarding. I was a nurse for 11 years. Mostly working with the elderly but I have worked in other areas such as dialysis, transplant and respiratory care.

    I am currently a student studying Kinesiology at the University at North Texas. After undergrad I am planning to go to medical school to become a doctor. I would describe myself as honest and optimistic who is a punctual and reliable person. I have a drive for caring for others and building long-term relationships with people I meet throughout life. I became interested in becoming a caregiver after helping take care of my grandparents who struggle with dementia related diseases and am looking to help other seniors while gaining experience in the caregiving/medical field.

    My care giving career actually started as a teenager volunteering in a nursing home. I didn't realize it at the time, but that experience made a big impact. I think the thing that drew me was caring for the people. I think what makes a great caregiver is someone who is empathetic and has the heart for caring for someone else. Someone who wants to make a difference in someone's life. I discovered that there is an art to caregiving. It is something that I have satisfaction from. I have been a professional caregiver for 3 years now. I have worked with a couple of local agencies during that time. I have completed 1 year of nursing school. I am available during the day. Usually 6a to 2p, or 7a to 3p Mon - Fri. Some weekends as needed. Feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance.
