About Shelly

My Mother's breast cancer came back and she was terminal. She could no longer care for my disabled Father, so I stepped in to help with cleaning, meal prep, and Dr. appointments. I enjoyed getting to know my parents better until their passing. We had a lot of laughs and hard conversations as well. I became a CNA a year and a half into caring for my parents part time. I was a carpenter by trade and decided on a career change.I have taken care of other patients privately. In the five years that I have been a CNA, I have become quite an advocate for the disabled and enjoy searching for resources to their betterment. I am a married mother of two grown daughters. I enjoy the outdoors and the theater. I have compassion for people in general.. I love to hear their stories and share ideas and experiences of my own. I care for people the way I would want to be treated.

    I enjoy being able to help others. I wanted to be a caregiver for others after caring for my grandmother and being able to see the difference it makes in their lives to have someone there when you need them. I would like to help others in the way that I was able to help my grandmother. I have experience with a variety of different duties pertaining to assisting elderly individuals. Helping others makes me happy and I enjoy doing the little things that will help make their lives better. I recently graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice and work full-time, but am available for part-time assistance wherever is needed, evenings and weekends.

    I have 25 plus years of experience working with the elderly in nursing homes, assisted living, and private homes. I am dependable and always on time. I am a people person, nurturing, caring, and giving. I love to help others especially the elderly achieve their daily goals of living a comfortable life by being able to take care of their activities of daily living. I treat my clients as family, and friends and look forward to my visits with them. I have done clerical jobs in the past but, I always come back to caregiver jobs because, it is what I enjoy, and love the most.
