About Sherna

What makes me a great caregiver is my personality, meaning having the sweetness to serve those who are not capable of doing certain things for themselves. Having the honesty, tolerance, patience, confidence, and ability to handle my responsibilities as assigned. The biggest medication in life is Laughter; therefore, if I can add a smile or laugh to a client's day, that means a lot to me and will contribute to the patient's recovery. Thus, I will use my sense of humor to make my client's life enjoyable. I love providing home caregiving services to those that would not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoy helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. What I like about being a caregiver is the caring personality that I bring to my patients. It is not about doing this job for money, it is the enthusiasm, the love, and the desire that I have to do it, and to see my people have the best life possible. "I remember the moment I used to taking care of my dad. He was in hospice and couldn't do certain things in his own. I used to help him walk, dress up, laugh, and put food in his mouth. It is a very memorable moment. So far, that is the personal achievement that I am so proud.

    I'm a very dedicated caregiver, with a very loving heart for all my patients, I treat each one of them as if they are one of My Grandparents or one of My Parents, and I Love them with all my heart so that's the type of love I would have for each one of my patients. I became a caregiver, I just admire and love elderly people they always bring a smile to my face when they share some of the old time stories. But I also have a passion to be around them and to bring a smile on their face as well. I have been a caregiver for 5 years CERTIFIED CNA/HHA

    A- ask L- listen O- observe H- help A- ask again Caregiving isn't only about feeding, clothing or cleaning. It's also having an understanding of how to navigate a sometimes complicated relationship between the ones who give care and the ones who are in need of it. Caregiving can be challenging. All I can do is keep a positive attitude. I'm a people person and I've always enjoyed helping others, even when it infringed on my personal life. It's just part of my nature. I started caregiving somewhat by accident when I assisted an elderly neighbor living alone after her mentally challenged son passed away. After that, my father-in-law with dementia came to stay with us for a short time and I took care of him for about a month. It was an afterthought, but that prompted me to do this as a career because it seemed like a natural fit for me. I became a professional caregiver in 2014 and have worked privately and with a number of agencies. I know the importance of good quality care and respect. My elderly father passed away years ago and I have an aging mother. When the time comes, I would want her to be cared for by someone such as myself. I have an enormous amount of patience, so I can handle the stress that goes along with this type of care. I was the second oldest of 5 brothers and sisters. I raised my daughter and helped with my four grandchildren and now have two great grandchildren, so I have a lot of experience giving care, changing diapers, feeding, bathing and dealing with all types of conflict. Every aspect of a caregiver. The only difference is the size of the person. Smile! I'm currently open to discussing any caregiving situation. My rate is negotiable. I have all of my certificates as well as a recent physical and TB test. I've also been cleared on a level 2 (FBI) background check, which allows me to work in this field and is required by the board of nursing. Let's have a talk and go from there. I can answer any questions you may have.
