About Amanda

I can honestly say I feel like this is the perfect career choice for me. Im more of a people person very talkative but also a good listener. Its a good feeling being there for someone who may not have much time left here. The other girls I worked with literally did everything step by step like my client was a robot. It was horrible. They viewed him only as a paycheck. Our elderly people need to actually live in their life or their just gonna wither away most likely unhappy. I enjoy reading to them or them reading to me, I enjoy keeping their interests peaked throughout the day so they dont want to sleep the day away, I really enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine I like to think. I actually make my time there about them and listen to what they have to say or talk about. I believe in this profession compassion is a must.

My client was a 97 yr old man. He was ambulatory he walked around on his own with a walker. My job entailed me waking him up from his nap around 4pm. I would have his mail and newspaper all ready for him at his dining room table where he spent most of his time. I would prepare his dinner and get his night time meds ready for him. After dinner I would sit with him and either read or just keep him company. He really enjoyed reading but was going blind so he really enjoyed be read to. When he went to bed he had a little routine I would check his brief and change it if need be and put his night clothes on and put his eye drops in and take his hearing aids out and help him into bed for the night. I would stay with him over night he got up a few times to use the restroom I would just make sure he made it to the restroom safely and make sure he didnt need me for anything, when he was finished i would help him back into bed. In the morning my shift was over before he even woke up.

My name is Shantell. I am a proud mother of three wonderful adult children and blessed with three amazing grandchildren. I have been working in health care since a young age, starting off being a health care aide for my blind grandmother at the tender age of 8 years old. From there on I found my passion in life. During my years as working as a personal care aide, I had the opportunity to take care of my parents during their last days. In doing so, I was able to gain a personal insight on the importance of having the right person taking care of your loved ones, which gave me an even greater passion for the work I do. I realized the importance of giving each and every person who I take care of the same love and care as I gave my loved ones while taking care of them. As well as the respect and honor to have the opportunity to be a part of their life.
