About Sharon

I became a caregiver when my mother passed away in 1989, when I realized that I could not help my mother then I started talking to God in asking him to help me to be able to get into a class that I will be able to start helping others. Well has the days passed I first started my CNA classes in Knoxville Tenn. were I started working as a CNA for 3 years at Brakebill Nursing Home., after working there for 3 years then my father wanted me to move back to Charlotte, N.C. to be closer to him so I came back home. I waited for 1 year before I went to sign up to take the classes over again and thats when I met my spouse and he suggested that I go back to classes and get my CNA certification again so thats what I did. The thing that I like about being a good caregiver is that for some of your residents we are the only family that they have that really loves and care about them, we need to show them that we are not here to hurt them but we are here to help and car for them as if you where taking care of your own parents or a family member you would'nt anyone to mistreat your family member so why do it to someone else family member then. That I have been doing this type of work for a long time and that my church members and neighbors trust me with their parents and has also recommended me to their friend.Im 51 years old, have 2 daughters 28 and 30, with 2 lovely grand kids, I love the type of work I do, friendly gets along with everyone and loves making people laugh, Im a good listener

    1)I became a caregiver because I love to help others and make a different in someone else's life .2)What I like about being a caregiver is,to be able to help someone and it's really make me happy . Because I am a loving & caring & respectful ,trustworthy person .When I'm helping someone I feel very happy , especially for those that can't help themselves. 3) A personal achievement that I am proud of ,is all my four children are done with college and one of them is married and started with new job and have a funny and beautiful little girl that's make the whole family really happy. and my last one/son is graduated done with college & already starting working. All 4 of them are doing really well and some of them are already starting their own business. And To me that's a big accomplishment and very proud of all of them. That makes me really happy &they are really close to God that 's making me even more happier. Only God can do such things ...To me it's a dream come true & Glory to GOD. 4)About myself , I've been married for 34 +years and I have four children and I am God fearing . And I've been Cna for more than 20 years and +and I love what I do . The reason that I love it is because I had a car accident 20 years ago I could not do nothing for myself and my family took care of me and I said to myself whenever I'm getting better and able to do everything I have to help others who needed help & won't be able to take care of themselves. And because I have compassion for what i do and I tell anyone that who want me to work with a loved one if they don't have enough money to pay I'm willing to negotiate. Because our Father in heaven wants us to care for one another.
