About Shanita

I chose to become a caregiver because I needed a job and I watched my mom do for 18yrs so thats part of the reason I became a caregiver. I've been a caregiver for 7yrs, the most rewarding part about this job is the relationships you develop with the clients you care for. The clients I've worked with over the years have taught me helped me to develop more patience, compassion and being more openminded. This feild of work is rewarding in so many ways besides making good money. You develop and posses a lot of good characteristics traits and long lasting relationships and a friendship with some of the clients you work with. In the end its well worth it.

I am a compassionate and caring person. I was a hospice volunteer for a year in Oneonta when I was attending Hartwick College. I recently graduated and started working at a daycare until I became a nanny. I love working closely with people and building a trustworthy relationship. I am capable of learning new things quickly. I enjoy helping others because it is the type of work I don't get tired of. A personal achievement I am proud of is graduating from college this past May.
