About Shirley

I fall into friendships with the people l come into contact with and enjoy their company as well as being there for them. They have a wealth of knowledge to share and l always learn from them. I actually took over one of my mother's clients when in high school and she became my grandmother, and very dear to me. That was my first experience which l enjoyed immensely. I've been in the field solidly since 1984 when l got into a fender bender and my doctor hired me. I was trained to be an MA,, then in 1998 we moved to Seattle from California where l became a CNA. I worked at Fircrest with special needs clients and floated as a CNA to nursing homes and hospitals, and locked units to ICU. I know how family wants their loved ones treated and happy to oblige. I took care of my own mother in her time of need because l wanted her to have the best care. My goal is to make sure your loved one gets that same care because that is where real satisfaction stems from.

This was my dream job when I was about 12 years taking care of my grand mother everyday after school. My duties were to take food to her, collect firewood, draw water from the river and sweep her kitchen and wash dishes. I loved and still love taking care of the elderly and the sick to this day. I am a compassionate, responsible, loving, patient, good company, attentive listener and also empathetic.I am a sociable person who has a natural affinity to providing continuous care. I am dependable, able to handle situations under pressure. Looking for a compatible family or company to work with.
