About Shirley

My family member was a College Educator in the Valley. Gary had a Cardiac Crisis a few years ago. I became a Caregiver a year later to give back to my Local Community in offering Caregiving Services to the Elderly. I have Staffed for Nine (9) years in the Field of Caregiving to Assist Elder Clients with their Daily Needs.. I am Registered here on 'Carelinx' as a Caregiver, and I have done many Private Duty Assignments. My Client Base has been all over the Bay Area in both Private Homes and Assisted Living Communities. In addition, I have previously Staffed as a Nanny to the children of (2) Engineering Families..

Since I have a ailing mother whose is also a quadroplegic and lives in a nursing home, I have not only assist, coordinate with staff and personally care for her. The concern and worry of being a child of elderly parents is not unique to me; many adult children are now facing the same dilemma as I am. Therefore, I truly understand and empathize in finding an honest, responsible, caring, pro-active and kind caregiver. I can offer my time when the family is busy with daily life. Please feel free to contact me so we can speak further.
