Shashicka Tyre Hill is the founder
Shashicka was born in Brunswick, Georgia, where she grew up and attended school. After becoming a teenage mother, she dropped out of high school so that she could take care of her daughter and help out at home.and CEO of Miracle Home Care, a successful home care agency. Shashicka did not have the easiest life as a child. Growing up, she experienced everything from drugs in her home to abuse, but she was able to rise above it and keep her focus on raising her daughter. It wasn't until Shashicka's grandmother became ill, that her life turned around. When her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, Shashicka and her mother became her primary caregivers and during her four year illness, Shashicka realized that she had a passion for taking care of people. When her grandmother passed away, Shashicka wanted to continue doing what she'd done for her grandmother. She put an ad in the newspaper to be a home care attendant and was contacted by someone who needed twenty-four hour care. Knowing that she couldn't do that alone, Shashicka hired a few other people to work with her and it was then that she realized she could turn her passion for care-giving into a business. With that goal in her mind and determination in her heart, Shashicka returned to school, received her GED, took classes at the Department of Human Resources in Atlanta and became licensed in Georgia. In 2002, Shashicka opened the doors to Miracle Home Care in Brunswick, Georgia. Her specialty was providing nursing and personal care, and companions to the elderly and disabled individuals. In 2005, she opened her second location. Today, Miracle Home Care is a multi-million dollar health care agency with seven locations throughout the Southeast. In 2010, Miracle Home Care had gross earnings of one million dollars and since then, has more than tripled in growth. Shashicka has plans to expand Miracle Home Care into other states, including Florida and is now considering making Miracle Home Care a franchising opportunity. Shashicka's entrepreneurial spirit didn't begin and end with Miracle Home Care. When she was just 20 years old, Shashicka purchased her first property and since that time she has owned as many as eight rental properties. In 2006, she opened a restaurant Caribbean Express, which she sold for a profit two years later. And today, she owns a barber shop in Brunswick. In addition to all of her businesses, Shashicka is a motivational speaker and business coach who desires to teach and encourage other people to achieve their dreams. "The saddest thing is not living a life without gifts – but living a life with gifts that you never opened," Shashicka says. "Sometimes you have to let go of good enough, in order to make way for something wonderful." Shashicka coaches aspiring entrepreneurs as well as people who already own businesses but just need a bit of guidance. She shares the business systems that made her successful, and helps each person apply the systems to their own passion. It is her dream to help as many people as possible achieve their personal and professional goals. |
