About Shackirah

What makes me a great caregiver; compassion, love, patients. kindness, and most of all, I am a grandchild, and a child to two parents that showed me lots of love, therefore I am able to pass it on. I also have elderly grand parents that lives overseas, that I don't get to see as often, but speak to all the time. I'm happy to know that they are being taken care of well, by sounding family members. I just don't look at my clients as a job, but as a family member, and would treat them the say way I would want my grand parents to be treated, with care, love, and respect. That's why I am a great caregiver. To add to it, I'm out going, and love to have a good laugh. What I enjoy about care giving, the interaction I have with my clients. The amazing stories from their past, that made them who they are, the history, and traditions that they passed on to the younger generation. A personal achievement of mines, that I am proud of, being the first one to graduate college on my paternal side of the family.

$25.00/hour · Clinton, MD
I am patient, caring, empathy,loving and pay attention to details concerning the privacy of my client. Being a compassionate person attracted my to being a caregiver. When my client is satisfied with my job and has a smile on her/his face. When my client was on her dead bed and her last request was to see her angel and hug her for the last time. When she was asked who the angel is, she said is Jane. As soon as I walked in her room, my client gave me a big hug and a smile, and she said, that's my angel, take care of her.
