About Shannon

I used to go to work with my mom as a kid she had her own private duty nursing jobs from then on I knew I like the feeling of taking care of someone who couldn't care for them selves. When I was 17 I had my first child I started working as a dietary aid at serval nursing homes I would chat with residents and have my favorites after that I started at the age of 19 working for Trudeau center at group homes my aunt had worked there and said I would like she was right I lasted 15 years there working different positions as I raised and started my family life wasn't always easy but I was and am great hard worker that always put into perspective as if this was your mom or dad would you want them taking care of well and good I ended my career after I got married I alway wanted to be a stay at home mom my kids needed me home after being a single mom for year I worked sometime 2 jobs I went to school and became a special Ed teacher I worked a few school but my job was a full time mom now the kids r grown. And things are way more expensive so I'm looking to get back into what I enjoy and loved care giving I am 41 now and because I started my life so early I feel like I experienced some many more things in life

I'm a very caring individual that likes to help the elderly in need. Starting when My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2017. I helped my mom with care for him. I saw it through with hospice where he passed at home in 2018. I enjoy the one on one care with the other person, getting to know their needs and Interests makes it a fun and engaged atmosphere to make them as comfortable as possible. I'm glad to say that I've helped the person I care for to engage in more exercise In going up and down the stairs , slowly , but she did it instead of using her chair Lift! She felt better about herself for her ability to work on her knee issues! She did great! I was very pleased that she went up and down the stairs on her own, with my Guidance of course, but she succeeded in applying herself in some good exercise! I'm currently available on Monday , Wednesday, and Friday mornings /afternoons. Hours available between 9-3. Available every other Sunday 9-3.
