Camille I.

My name is Shelby; I'm a kind, caring, empathetic, and outgoing individual. I have my CNA license and have been a caregiver for 3 years now. It is great to help others when they are either incapable or just need a little bit of help. I have always wanted to be in the medical field and I feel this is the best place to not only start, but be. My patients/residents are what I enjoy most about the job because without them I wouldn't have a job. They are what makes me excited about work and being an extension of their family always brings a great joy to my life. Personally my greatest achievement is my beautiful daughter and I want to show her that if you work hard then doors will open for you any and everywhere. Thank you.

Hi! After witnessing my mother's decline with dementia in an assisted living facility, I KNEW I could provide better care to the aging with more compassion and intuitiveness. I followed my heart to become a caregiver and took the 75 hour training required by Washington State to be a licensed Home Care Aid. I felt this would attest to my professionalism, commitment and integrity toward the care I could offer, and DO offer! I truly love my job. I am respectful, calm, attentive and a good communicator. Listening and understanding are important for everyone involved so I like to keep notes and communicate by phone regularly and often with family and others. This is in the best interest of the client-a loved one aging in their own home. Because of my experience I often have suggestions to help make things easier for the client to stay in their home more comfortably, safely and sometimes more fun! I'm very resourceful! I work well as a team member- whether it be with the family or as a member of a caregiving team for the client. I have a strong work ethic and great sense of humor (and the discernment to know when to apply it!).
