About Shanna

I'm patient, kind, loving. I do my job with passion because I look what I do. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is relationship you gain with the person and the family. The person that attract me to become a caregiver was my mom just seeing how she care for me and my sister and also her patients made me decide to be a caregiver.

Hello My is Nancy, I enjoy working one on one with people, and I especially love to make them smile by doing little things to brighten their day. I'm a registered CNA and HHA. I have taken care of several family members and friends of family and I've worked as a home health aid. Every person is special and everyday can present a new challenge and I am constantly learning from my clients. One woman in particular that I cared for was 65 yrs old. She was deaf & mute and taught me ASL sign language. So taking care of an individual is part of the job, but 'Caring For Them' is a large part of My heart.

Good Morning! I am Patti a 52 year old(young) honest, friendly, caring, compassionate, patient, attentive, non-smoking/drugging woman who is ready, willing, and able to help you when you need it! For the past 9 years I was a Personal Caregiver for a 98 year old elderly woman with errands, paperwork, Dr. appointments,and grocery shopping. I also helped an elderly man in his 80's with Parkinson's for 1 1/2 years. During that time I was responsible for medication management, wound care, bathing, personal grooming, dressing, meal prep, feeding if needed, house cleaning, and laundry. I have been certified here from The Care Academy for being a Professional Caregiver, Preventing Falls In Older Adults, and 5 different categories for Alzheimer's and Dementia . I currently drive an elderly woman with Dementia to Daycare 2 days per week her daughter hired me, and gave me a 5-star rating on care.com so I have excellent references. Thank you, I look forward to helping you soon!
