About LaShawn

Greetings, I am LaShawn Lanham and I am interested in the Caregiver position. I have been in the field of Health and Human Services in a variety of positions for a span of eighteen years. I enjoy assisting those in need. It does my heart well to know that I am making a difference in the lives of others. I take pride in my work. My attraction to this work came naturally. I grew up watching my mother care for the elders of our family, and as my mother aged, I stepped in. I display many virtues that align with caring for others: patience, understanding, guidance, motivation, and a sense of humor. The personal achievement that I am most proud of is maintaining a balanced life of being a wife, adopting a child, returning to college, and working.

I am a caring and giving person. I treat my clients as if they are family with respect. I know how to reroute behavior if they are having a bad day. Being in a good mood around clients is what gets them through the day. I strive for them having a nice time. I became a caregiver when I worked for Cedar Lane Apts and the Director saw how I treated the Assisted Living. One client was difficult but she loved me so they ask if I can be her caregiver in 2003. I been doing it every since. I enjoy seeing the looks on my clients face when they are happy. I enjoy putting them in a good mood. I love our outings I'm proud that the families brag on me and the staff appreciated me. I'm proud that I got to sometimes put them to bed comfortable. I'm proud to wear my scrubs
