Hi, I'm Shawna, \"What makes me a great caregiver?\" I've raised six amazing children as a single mother and after 20 years of helping people feel good about themselves in the beauty industry, I took on the role of my 92 year old grandmother's caregiver. I cared for her for two years and I feel I've found my calling. I am, by nature, a very nurturing person so I'm in my element as a caregiver. I have excellent work ethics, I'm organized and very easy to get along with. I have a great respect for the elderly because they have paved the way for me and my children. I only pray that when my time comes, my children will take as good a care of me.

I am currently RCFE certified with a 7 years experience as a health care provider. (Certified with California Department of Social Services) My experience includes work with elderly suffering from Parkinson's, dementia, Alzheimer's, sleep apnea, restless feet syndrome, anxiety, ALS, mental heath, individuals with co occurring mental illness such as bipolar, depression, schizophrenia just to mention a few. My education and work experience demonstrate my commitment to quality and empathetic care. My priorities are to educate with a view to enhancing the quality of care and the standard of living. To promote my clients safety, dignity, autonomy, and comfort while facilitating a family center approach to care. I possess excellent verbal, written, and computer communication skills with the ability to work both independently or as part of a team. My commitment to gentle care and empathetic service will play a vital role in any care I render. I have a reliable means of transportation.
