About Shirley

I have a great deal of compassion for all people so being a caregiver just comes natural for me. I work very well with people, I am kind and kind hearted and I have a positive, happy disposition. I have found that being a caregiver is extremely rewarding. I started out hoping I would be of help/a blessing to others but in the process found that it is both the caregiver and the 'care receiver' that are touched/blessed. I am currently available on alternating weekends (every other weekend) , occasional Mondays, and occasional holidays. I will be happy to provide care / companionship for your loved one on either a consistent or 'as needed' basis.
