About Shawn

I am passionate about caregiving and enjoy helping families with their loved ones. My goal is to help clients do as much as they can for as long as they can while keeping them safe. I have taken care of a variety of people and like getting to know each of them. My mom lived with mental illness and dementia and lived in an adult family home. I treat clients with the same respect and dignity that I hope she received everyday.

I have been a home care giver for more than 10 years, but worked as a licensed CNA for 2 years. I've assisted clients with bed baths, help with transfers, showers, medication reminders, change briefs, meal prep and light house keeping. I work hard and care for all clients as I would my own parents, with the compassion, great care and comfort.
