Hi! My name is Yang Shi and I am from mainland China, I have lived here for 29 years. I had a restaurant business for more than 20 years in Arkansas. Our restaurant got "Top 100 Chinese's Restsurant" award in 2009. I sold the business and property in 2015 and moved to Seattle to be closer to my daughter while she goes to college at the University of Washington. I returned to China last year to take care my parents for several months before I started to work at the Fred Meyer. I accompanied my parents reading, writing, and talking, reminding them to take medicine, and prepared them meals. That was a very sweet and unforgettable time. After moving to Seattle I worked at the Norse Home in Greenwood serving the elderly community. I also spent time working as a caregiver for an older woman with dementia for several months; I prepared her meals and assisted her to the bathroom and shower and helped her keep her exercise and medicine schedule and maintained the housework. I know how to take care of older people , according to my working and living experience . I love people , love animals, love trees, plants and nature. I understand how important honesty and love is in my life. I am very confident I will do a good job at being a caregiver.

Before I thought that I was a really patient person because I use to love to take care of my love ones,friends, neighbors,etc even when they're show bad actitudes or behaviors or situations that you really need to understand them and love them like that and offer them your help. But in the middle of my life I realized that is not just patient is also compassion,that's all we need to take care with love and I think this is the most important thing for being a great caregiver . When I discovered that ,I deside to become a caregiver ,and I love to be part of all of wonderful ladies, and gentlemen life's that I have been working with. I feel so blessed to help and love to get all the knowledge,wise,kindness,etc from them. I just move in from California and I still feel heartbreaking from my clients that I left back there but I have been in touch with all of them and that make me feel better,so I have a lot references from all my clients and the agencies that I've been working with
