About Shawn

I am able to connect with older client easily, I made sure they know that I'm their voice when they can't get their point across. I'm here to assist them not order them around. My only objective is to help them as everyday task gets a little hated to complete, I'm their personal cheerleader. The last two clients I had was more than a job we became good friends. I never just leave a case. For the most part I'm there until they depart this earth and even after I'm able to help the family with packing up my clients things.

I have been a caregiver for over 25 years and I love it. My mother was a Home Health Nurse and took me with her sometimes and I would see how just little things would make her clients so happy and knew that is what I wanted to do. I have worked for Visiting Angels for almost 8 years and I'm still there, but they don't have many hours right now. I am certified on Alzhelimer and Dementia care, I also have my CPR certification. I can take your loved one to Doctor Appointments and report the doctor's instructions to the family, go on outing and doing whatever they choose to do. I have multiple letters from family members about how well I take care of their family members and they have also sent the letters to Visiting Angels. I love what I do so I guess that's why I don't look at it as just a job. I have always treated my clients as I would want someone to treat my loved one
