About Shakhayla

I am very easy to get along with very caring and willing to listen, cater to what the client need also making sure the family knows that their family member is on good hands. I really enjoy the idea of taking care of people and knowing that they feel comfortable and loved at the second time. I love the laughs and the learning that comes with taking care of the older generation. They all have a story to tell. I have had so many residents and family members tell me when they see me they know that their family member is taken care of. That fills my heart.

I enjoy meeting new people and have a friendly, caring personality. I cared for my mother for many years and feel I have many years of experience in caregiving. It is rewarding to help people maintain their quality of life and as much independence as safely possible. I was awarded the 2019 Employee of the Year Award at my workplace - my co-workers voted for me and it was a great moment and also humbling at the same time.

I love to help others!!For 30years it has brought me joy to know that I do something everyday that puts a smile on an individuals face. I'm giving back what was given to me, at sometime or another we all need someone to care for us so its my duty to give back. Raising my kids and finishing school so i could do what i love. I am a leader, and a team player, having thw chance to recruite great help also helped me understand what it was like working in the office and how hard it is at times to get good help for our lives loved ones so as long as I can I will help make it easier for everyone and I will not stand for abuse of any kind to anyone..
