About Shannon

What made me fall in love with caregiving was meeting a 12 year old girl with cerebral palsy out in her front yard one day her parents told me that every day when they would come home she was sad Moody and depressed. You didn't think that the caregivers they were hiring through the agencies were spending any time with her. they even hired me on as her full-time caregiver working 6 days a week sometimes nine hour days. We became very close and her eyes would light up we did physical training to the point where she was holding herself up I devoted every hour I was there with her into her care and support. The same with my other family who was an elderly woman with dementia I was with her all the time I knew everything about her. I put my heart and soul into every job I've ever had. And I take the care of my patients and clients very seriously. I work closely with the families on goals for the patient and activities further their progress and make them feel cared for and loved.
