About Shantell

I am a very sociable person. I love getting to know people and even more, I love helping people. When I started working in nursing homes I found it very rewarding and it still is. I care about my residents a lot and that is what led me to go to school for Cna. I wanted to be able to help them out as much as possible.Being an activity aide helps some residents open up more to me than they would with other people. They come to me to take a load off, get their mind off of everything else. Activities makes their day go a little bit better and that is a very big reward for me. I would love to continue to help and care for people so home care seems like a great fit to me.

Although I have always had a natural ability to help others, I became interested in caregiving and the healthcare field after taking care of my uncle who had cancer. I understood the importance in providing quality care for those in need. As a certified CNA, being passionate in what I do, responsible, empathetic, and self-less are the qualities I am proud to carry. An accomplishment I am proud of is going back to school to pursue nursing and maintaining a high GPA.

Hi my name is Jazzmere and I've been a certified nurse assistant for 8 plus years. I got into the field because I like helping people and also I have family members in the nursing field. I do have a personal connection with being a caregiver, I took care of my grandfather who was battling Parkinson's disease. I took care of him in his final days here on earth and made him as comfortable as possible. I miss him very much. Besides being a caregiver, I enjoy spending time with my family and especially my 5 year old son. He is the most important person to me. If I'm not spending time with family I'm in school part time pursuing my nursing degree.
