About Shirley

I became a caregiver because I enjoy working with people. I treat the whole family. It is important to understand the history of the family in treating the client. I have a lot to offer in the services I provide. I provide exceptional, caring and compassionate love in treating my clients as I would like someone to treat my mom or dad. My personal achievement with clients, is allowing clients to continue with their normal activities such as going to church, movies, dinner and theater. I sometimes take clients out for a drive, showing them the changes in areas where they grew up. I enjoy talking to them and letting them feel that they matter. I am a very caring and understanding person. I have great verbal and written communication skills. I work well with family members in assisting them in understanding what their loved ones are going through by recommending that they attend classes to better understand their love ones disease. Life is 10% broken and 90% what we do to change it.
