About Shantia

I'm empathetic, compassionate, caring and patient. I have worked in a nursing home for a little over 2 years followed by a short amount of time in. What made this my chosen field is how I used to take care of a neighbor with my mother... her and I were very close and I had made up my mind about what I wanted to do. I'm currently enrolled in school to become a nurse. I'm dedicated. What I enjoy most is the appreciation that's given, the gratitude that my clients feel for the way I take care of them. I'm proud of the award I had gotten while working in the nursing home. The residents and my coworkers were very happy with the way I treated them and they showed that to me when I received the award.

I was a nurse in the Philippines and my experience as a caregiver began with taking care of my diabetic aunt. After graduation I took care of several patients in their private homes. As a caregiver I have had the chance to understand the needs of families. I am always present and able to provide around-the-clock care. My main responsibility as a caregiver is to provide assistance with the medical, personal, and emotional needs of the patient. I am skilled at administering medicine according to doctors' orders or simply reminding patients to take their medications. I also assist with activities of daily living - I can help with bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility, exercising, meal planning, nutrition tracking, transferring from bed to wheelchair, and keeping company. I can also do light housekeeping, prepare meals, and provide emotional care to the family members. Caregivers prevent family members from feeling burnt out. As a caregiver I feel that I have contributed a lot by improving the health conditions of my patients. I find nothing more rewarding than caring for them.
