At HomeCare Professionals, we are proud to recognize Vickie Sheckles as our Employee of the Month.

Vickie brings compassion, dedication, and a lifelong heart for helping others into every client relationship. Her caregiving journey began long before joining our team and is rooted in years of caring for family members and working with children in a mental health group home. After witnessing the care and determination behind HomeCare Professionals, Vickie felt called to support seniors and quickly found her passion in serving older adults with dignity and respect.

Here’s what Vickie shared about her journey into caregiving:

“I want to say Thank You for recognizing Me and My work that I do. I have always been a person that wants to help people. I have raised my siblings and their children, to working in a group home for troubled mental health children for 19 years. I met Darlene threw her daughter. I saw how much caring and determination she had to open a business caring for the elderly. I thought about it and was like I took care of kids for 19 years why not go to the opposite end of life and take care of the elderly. Once I met the clients I was hooked. Darlene and Mandi really took the time to match clients with me to utilize my skills. Everyone brings something different to the table. Every client deserves respect, kindness and love 💕”

We are grateful to have Vickie as part of the HomeCare Professionals family and appreciate the compassion she brings to every client she serves.

Congratulations, Vickie, and thank you for all that you do. 💙
