About Shaquille

"When I was working at General Hospital, I had the opportunity to participate in the development of a new online portal. I learned a lot about new behaviors and expectations in the healthcare industry. With the evolution of the internet and digital applications, I think healthcare providers will be including more and more connectivity apps in their patient care management. This process allows patients to have more access to their provider to strengthen the patient-doctor relationship." I believe that in the healthcare field, education never really ends. It is part of our job to stay up-to-date about new developments in our field. Therefore, I subscribe to several scientific newsletters like Kaiser Health and NIH News in Health, and I take continuing education courses at a local community college. Elderly patients value their independence, and I like to help them achieve it by providing the best occupational therapy. I also think it is essential to talk with them and provide good company during my shift because they are often lonely. I take the time needed to listen to my older patients." Since I was a child, I wanted to help people. I remember putting bandages on my little brother when he would fall and feeling a strong sense of responsibility for his care. It was not hard to pick a direction for college; I knew I wanted to heal patients. I graduated from Florida Career College last summer with honors, and I am really excited to start my career."

Hi Ive been in the medical field in various levels of patient care over 35 years. I have prenursing training and education , Im a registered Phlebotomist and Medical Assistant, much more than a CNA. After caring for my 95 year old mom for 6 years; the realization needing an xtra hand, if nothing else to get a break , was challenging to locate a professional quality caregiver that actually knew what they were doing, and were reliable. It's important to have a good fit with your reliable caregiver. In order to achieve quality care, the well-being , help maintain as much independence as possible, and mentally stimulation; plus provide comfortably safe environment is crucial. I offer a variety of shifts, days, and nights, over-night and weekends /holidays stays, to assist, and provide that much needed break to the full time family caregivers. Especially if you are on your own and need a helping hand till you recover, I'm there for you. I enjoy making a difference helping those that really need it. If it will help you stay home versus a skilled facility I'll be there to assist where I can. I take pride in being punctual, accomplishing the tasks at hand, and providing you peace of mind you have someone you can rely upon. Majority of my past clients still think of me as family; that warms my heart Thank you for considering me
