About Shamira

1) I became i caregiver because i love to help people. when i was 17 years old my grandmother died of Cancer. She didn't receive the help she needed and i would do anything to go back in time just to give her the help she needed. 2) I like being able to at least make my patient as comfortable and happy as possible. to try to put a smile on their face. 3) i am proud that i decided to go back to school to become a registered nurse and i am excelling well with all A's. as much as i doubted myself i am doing great for myself. 4) I love people. I love to help make anyone's life easier. I am unique, loving and caring. i can possibly brighten up any room.

    I've been in home care for 14+ years. I worked for Hospice for 6 years, Parkinsons, TBI, stroke, and developmental disabilities patients and etc. I love what I do because I treat all my clients like if they were my family and also the way I would like to be treated. What attract me to Homecare was when I was in high school I used to work in the nursing home. And I am proud of making my patient happy seeing a smile on a face. That makes me know that I am doing my job right.
