Shamika P.

I have been a caregiver for over 15+ years. I love what I do. I believe that taking care of others is my calling. When I was younger, I would assist my disabled grandmother and uncle with their daily needs. From that point on, I knew the medical field was the place for me. Being able to assist others that are incapable or don't understand what they want just melts my heart, If there's ever a chance where I can further my education on new disorders, I always jump on it. Not only do I have my CNA, I also have my dementia and Alzheimer certification.

1 - The client is #1, truthful, loyal, on time, patience, compassion, love, quality of work, dependability, good reporting, communication, pleasant, good listener, observant, caring, able to work with tough clients. I speak Portuguese, Italian, English, and I have a good communication in Spanish. I have demonstrated ability to involve clients in social activities, and to provide daily living services with high regard for their privacy. 2 - Caregiving becomes naturally to me. I have been working in the personal care profession for quite some time now. I am compassionate person and enjoy providing care to people of different ages. It gives me great satisfaction to think that I am of help to someone, and the job actually enables me to make a difference daily in the lives of my clients. 3 - Being a caregiver for 12 years has helped me in so many ways. I have worked in Nursing Home, Private agencies, Private families, etc. I love what I do in helping each client I've ever worked with. Taking care of sick people that needs my help gives me joy in my heart, and it let me know they need people to work with them that care. 4 - Just recently I achieve with proud of taking care of a dying client with cancer. I work many hours with all my heart and passion side by side with families and their loved one. The end of the day I was truly proud of my achievement.
