About Shonika

I am very passionate about providing loving care to people. It bring me joy to know that I have made another individual feel safe and happy around me. Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant was an unexpected blessing to me and I have embraced every moment since I started in this field. I have been in the Medical Field for 10 years now from working in Medical Records to the Front Desk, but interacting directly with the patient and being hands on is the best part. It makes me feel appreciated to know that while in their presence and under my care, I am providing a diligent service that speaks highly for itself. I am able to manage multiple task simultaneously, I have great communication skills that make the client and their family feel comfortable interacting with me, and I am very energetic and take pride in providing great care. I’m the type of person on whom my clients will and can depend on.
