About Schywanda

Hello, my name is Schywanda Lewis, but you can call me Shawn. I have worked in the medical field which I truly love. Had to leave due to my son being so medically ill that I didn't want to keep taking off. I am kind, loving, love to laugh, and most importantly, praise God. I have watched love ones pass on, and currently, my father is dying of cancer. I love making my clients feel important, loved, and they have someone they can trust and talk to. I am a published author, a certified life coach, and motivational speaker. I am more of an in person communicator. Feel free to ask me anything, I am an open book.

I'm a caring, patient and compassionate person and I've always been drawn to helping the elderly. It gives me satisfaction when I can help and bring smile and joy to their faces. Helping to care for my grandmother and watching my mother care for other people made me want to be a caregiver.
