About Shalonda

I became a care giverr because I have a passion for helping people. I love people and enjoy helping them. My father became critically I'll in 2009. He had cancer and two different knee replacements. I was his primary caregiver. I was a correctional officer during that time. It was a challenging and stressful time for us. I realized that my father and other elderly people and children deserved to have a trust worthy, loving, understanding and kind caregiver. I became passionate about becoming a registered nurse. I went and got certified as a nurse aide in order to start helping people as some as possible while being in nursing school. Being a CNA is satisfying and rewarding.
