January 2023 Employee

January 2023 EOTM Sheila Bauswell

Pearce would like to recognize Sheila Bauswell as our January Employee of the Month!

Sheila has been an employee of Pearce for almost 2 years! She is our very early morning Front Desk Attendant.

Sheila retired from her full-time job at the Peoria County Jail and joined Pearce as a part-time job to keep busy, but it has become much more than that. The people and co-workers have become like a 2nd family. Sheila states, “I truly look forward to coming into Pearce each day.”

In her spare time, Sheila loves to read, bake (she is a fantastic baker) and spend time with her family. She also loves taking care of her 6 cats ranging from 3-10 years old (Stormy, Fezzek, Gabby, Guppy, Tabitha and Nora) and 1 dog, Georgia (13 years old)

Sheila’s favorite inspirational thought is, “I’m fine, it’s fine, everything is fine! It has to be because to be unhappy is not a choice”.

Sheila says, “I love working at Pearce because of the people”! She enjoys all of the members, as many of them make her laugh and smile on a daily basis.

Sheila hopes she brings a smile to the early morning crew and that they know she is here to help them in any way she can!

Fun facts about Sheila: she has 7 tattoos and is a huge BTS fan, which is KPop. She is planning a trip to South Korea with her sister, who is also a huge fan!

Three words Sheila says describe her are: kind, funny and giving!

Thank you, Sheila, for choosing to be a part of our Pearce family!
