About Shanita

I am compassionate and I treat others with kindness and respect. I show unconditional love for the ones I care about. I have a very big heart and get along with my elders well. I'm also a great listener, love to hear stories about others, as well as share my own. I became a caregiver to help others out with the things they cannot accomplish on their own. I love helping others and taking care of them as well. I saw my grandfather struggle with Alzheimer's disease and it was unfair that no one understood him or didn't want to be around him as much. I became a caregiver because I want to help others that are like my grandfather understand that there is still hope. I like being a caregiver because making someone smile makes me very happy inside and out. My biggest accomplishment of being a caregiver is knowing the job is done right and that I made it possible for someone else to feel loved and cared about.

I try to be sympathetic to others as well as myself. Because I would like to be treated as well as I treat my clients when I become older. Being helpful and being needed. Holding someone hand while they were making their transition.
