About Sheila

I appreciate being given the opportunity to contribute to people's quality of life whenever possible. It is always my goal to treat others as I would want to be treated. I am dependable, honest, highly organized and goal-oriented. I have been involved with healthcare systems for over 20 years. I have also worked in caring for the elderly and with individuals who face mental health challenges. I have seen quality care and I have also seen situations where gaps exist and empathy is missing. I appreciate opportunities to stand in the gaps where possible. I am open to discussing anything your family might need help with. Please don't hesitate to ask. I am connected to CareLinx because I want to help.

Throughout the years, it has been a blessing to work with families by helping them with their loved ones. One of the main reasons I continue to be a caregiver because I love seeing how God has put me in a position to work through me to care for others. I enjoy establishing relationships with my patients and their families and working together to provide the best care for their loved one. I have been doing this for over 10 years and every patient I had the honor of working with has been a blessing in their own way.

I worked in home healthcare as a caregiver for many years. I have always chosen jobs that allow me to interact with people because patience and interacting with all types of people are my strong points. I learned so much from the people I worked for that it really enriched my life. Since most of my clients suffered from Arthritis I took classes in Arthritis care and treatment and aim certified to teach land and water Arthritis exercise classes. I am also certified in CPR. For the past three years I have been a volunteer at St. Baldricks, a non profit charity for childhood cancer. This reinforced to me how important it is for any family to have support for their family members when they can't be there. I really enjoy being able help families know that their loved ones are in good hands.
