About Rachael

I became a caregiver for multiple reasons. I enjoy working with people, to make a difference in someones life, I enjoy helping people. I grew up in foster care and had many people throughout my life helping me through some of the toughest times. Now as an adult I wanted a career that I would be able to help others. There are many aspects of my career that I love but most of all the Companionship. A personal achievement of mine that I am most proud of would be my ability to take all negative experiences in my life and turn them into good. Completing High School, going to college, and having three of the most precious children. I am determined, hard working, passionate, caring, and devoted to my family and career.

    Hello! I am an licensed Emergency Medical Technician. I have worked for a retired army Colonel/Optometrist for the past four years as his caregiver. Unfortunately, he just passed. I helped him with everything including bathing, transportation, medication distribution, grooming, dressing, wound care, daily exercise, food prep/meals, am/pm care, doctor's appointments, errands, and light housework. Before that I worked for a Home-Care company who worked out of multiple nursing homes and clients homes. I honestly enjoy working with the elderly and being able to make a difference in their lives. I hope I hear from you! Thank you for your interest! Shelby.

    I believe patient care and helping others is my passion. I have worked with patients with Alzheimer's,Autism and Dementia. Everyone is created equal in my eyes and I take care of my patients the way I would want myself or family members taken care of. An achievement that Im proud of was being offered a Preceptor Training Position when I worked at Heartland. My outstanding work ethic landed me a role to train new Certified Nursing Assistants at the facility. I am very compassionate and I take a lot of pride in doing my best at whatever job or task I am given.
