Hello, Name is Shakeema I have been doing home health for about 6 years all together. I am a very nice easy going person. I never had any complaints about any patient that I had in my past. Well I have to say I love helping people and in this field you help out with people who can't do things themselves like they once did before. Personal achievements is actually sticking to something I love doing... I love helping others. What attracted me to being a caregiver was after I finished medical assistant school I wanted a job just to help me gain some experience. When I started I had no idea what I was doing I would call my manager every 10 min just to make sure I was doing everything right.. but after a while I started getting closer to my client and just started loving my job more and more. Personality traits have to be my sense of humor I have a great personality and love talking about different things.
