About Sheila

My Wage is Negotiable Caring for others is what I love doing and it has given reasons to give back to the society.I am in school to become an RN why bc I have a passion to serve people. #VERY EMPATHETIC AND PATIENT. 1 I have a passion for putting others first. Seeing someone with an intellectual disability able to lead a happy, safe and fulfilling life is enough to make it all worthwhile. In essence, it's about making major beneficial changes to someone with an intellectual disability. Seeing them respond to their new environment - and the care and love that shapes it - provokes a feeling that must be experienced to be believed. And there's simply no reward quite like watching the smile emerge and hearing their laughter. Why? Because I care, and am blessed to be able to. Here's how it happened: I became a caregiver first when Mom was diagnosed with cancer. That was 10+ years ago. (She's 65 & was diagnosed in 2005 with Alz and cancer) I continue to be the full time caregiver,I left school to take care of her. Yes, Praise the Lord, He has givin me strength to make a difference here! . 2.Being a caregiver for years has helped me in so many ways, I have worked with people with different illneses in their homes and Nursing home Facilities, Private Duty,. I love what I do in helping each client I've ever worked with.iI am trustworthy,patient,honest,dedicated,enthausiastic and a compassionate care giver and always punctual at work..Care giving is a calling.I feel fulfilled taking care of people and it gives me great joy doing this everyday. 3.My greatest achievem

I have worked professionally ranging from private family cases to nursing homes,assisted living and agencies.The warmth, the love and the little thank yous' are what motivate me. I am very patient.honest, compassionate, understanding and very reliable. I do drive and own a vehicle to aide to the outdoor needs of my patients; going out to places,grocery shopping,doctors appointments and fun activities. I also have experience as a recreational therapy assistant thus I learn about the person I am to care for and try to bring in interesting activities to make their days brighter.I like pets, but have a reaction to cats. I am a diligent christian, also a non-smoker nor into drugs.

I became a caregiver in 1988 before I graduated from from high school. I had compassion for all types of individuals and wanted to help or take care of people. I love caring for individuals as if it they are members of my family - with compassion, empathy, and love. I appreciate the way I can positively impact individuals and their families. Families deserve a caregiver whom they can trust with their parent or child, and I am that person. I am very trustworthy, honest, and available for clients and their families. Even if you request my services on specific days, I will be there for you more often as needed. I run errands, provide medication reminders, assist with ADLs, do housework, and prep meals if needed. I have reliable transportation sources and insurance, and I also allow short notice calls.
