About Shara

I love people. My entire life I have loved meeting and getting to know people. I am a fun, upbeat person who would love to help you and your loved ones be more comfortable. I have been a caregiver for years when it comes to pets, children, people with mental disabilities and have been working with seniors for a few months now and I really am dedicated to making others lives easier. I am a fast learner so if your loved ones are very particular I can take notes and talk to them and make sure they are happy with me and my services.

    I babysat her grandchildren since I was 13 and then when I got older I took care of her wonderful daughter Crystal while her husband Jack was battling cancer. I still work for her very part time (only a few hours a month). I bathed, cathed and other bathroom needs, fed, administered medication, and kept Crystal happy in a very rough time and became almost a security blanket for her.

    1. Why did you become a caregiver? I love providing home caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoyed helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. 2. What do you like about being a caregiver? I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients’ lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. 3. what is a personal achievement you are proud? A personal achievement that I am proud of is caring for a client who didn't have any family and couldn't care for herself and becoming a big part of her life. 4. Tell us something about yourself? I am a very hard-working young woman I love being a certified nurses assistant. I love to helping people who aren't able to help themselves as if they would like to. I am very honest, passionate and loving.

    Hi, my name is Vanessa Phillips. I am a mother of two, a daughter (8) and a son (3). I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for 8 years now. I have worked in pretty much every area of my field such as geriatrics, hospice, home care, assisted living, and so on. I love the Nursing field and will be continuing my career as I got accepted into LLCC's ADN program beginning this Fall. I have worked so hard for this opportunity and hope to become an RN in 2023 after graduation and passing my boards. I am very passionate about Nursing and I believe this shows in my work and everyday life. I have a mothering, patient nature about myself and love to care for others by being helpful, promoting independence, and making great differences in their lives. I am a hardworking, team player, but I also prefer to be on a one on one basis with clients as I tend to provide quality care and attention to them because that is usually what most seek, companionship. I enjoy perfecting my craft and can't wait to become a great Nurse one day.
