Shanethia J.

I became a caregiver because of a family member who became very ill. I became his caretaker and enjoyed taking care of him even though it was a difficult time for me. He was very comfortable with the care that was provided and it was something I knew I wanted to do from that time on. What I like most about being a Caregiver is I like to see that a patient/client is being well cared for and that I am making that happen for them. I like to see the satisfaction on their faces knowing I have done a job well done. A personal achievement I am proud of is that every patient/client that I have worked with, providing care for, was very pleased with my work and they have expressed it with words of appreciation themselves and with my supervisors. I am a person who takes my job seriously and I like to be proficient in my work. I have been in the Healthcare field for 15 plus years and am very skilled in it. I like to get the job done right the first time. I can also be humorous with the patient/client when it is appropriate to make their day a little brighter. I really enjoy working with them.

I am a very caring and compassionate person. I am a mother of three adult children as well as a wife. I was a stay home mom for the first seven years of motherhood. I was born the oldest of seven to a single mom, I have been helping care for my siblings since I was six years old. I love to help those who can't help themselves or just need help, kindness and patience. I would have to say my proudest achievement is that I am a wife and mother for 27 years. I have been a Home Health Aide And Personal Care Aide for over 20 years in the state of NY. I have experience with older people as well as disabled individuals physically and mentally.
