Shawn J.

I have been a caregiver since 2009. I have a great passion for taking care of others and have spent most of my working career doing so. I have extensive experience in almost every area providing care for this population. I have worked with a variety of Alzheimer's and dementia clients as well as Parkinson's, MS, Diabetes, severe respiratory issues, Huntington's disease , cancer and those on hospice all which include many different special needs. I have a degree in Psychology from CSUS that I earned in 1983. If there's something new I'm not familiar with, I'm more than willing to learn. I love to cook and most likely can make almost anything up on request. I'm always willing to do house cleaning and laundry. I take pride in my work and always go above and beyond what is expected of me. I enjoy conversing with those I provide care for, they always have such interesting memories and history. My mission is to always treat my clients with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. I also work at the San Juan Unified School District with Autistic preschool children which requires much energy, patience and understanding. I am also fully vaccinated. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications and how I can help you.

I am a compassionate, dependable, trustworthy caregiver. I take pride in providing the best possible care. I started at 12 years old helping care for my grandmother who had a stroke and was left paralyzed. In 2009 i got my cna certification and began working in long term care facilities, But in 2014 i let it expire as i wanted to take my dad home to care for him when he was diagnosed with cancer. Cared for him until he passed away. Tried working in a different field but my heart leads me back to caregiving. Doing all that i possibly can to help others is what makes me happy. I have experience with adl's, vital signs, toileting, bathing, feeding, ostomy care, range of motion, meal prep, lifting with or without a gait belt, hoyer lifts, household chores. I am a non smoker and comfortable around all pets.
