About Shonda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have loved the elderly and working with them since I was about 13. My grandfather was in the nursing home and that is what got me started. I would see him and then go off with one of the nurses to help her with all the other patients. At 18 I went and got my CNA certification and went back to the nursing home he was at and worked. I realized after about 8 yrs that I couldn't help them all there and tried to do home care on my own for a while. Then went and tried the nursing home again and once again realized that I couldn't help all of them and that to a lot of them they were just a number and a paycheck. They didn't have a name or anything and so I decided to start doing home care. I love working with the elderly. I have dealt with everything from Alzheimer dementia to paraplegic to walking and stability to heart and lung issues and just about everything in between. I believe if it wasn't for the elderly we wouldn't be here. They are how we got here.

Shonda is an experienced and compassionate caregiver. She was very essential in assisting with personal geriatric care and support to an elderly woman with Alzheimer Disease, Dementia, and Sundown Syndrome when we needed help most. Shonda is very proficient with: * Personal In-home Care - Monitoring Health Conditions * Medication Management * Meal Preparation * Providing Companionship and Emotional Support * Assisting with Daily Living - Dressing and Grooming * Maintaining a Clean and Safe Living Environment * Excellent Communication Skills * Maintaining Accurate Records of Care Provided Shonda is a delight to work with and I am confident she will be a valuable asset to anyone who hires her as she was for me.
