Jamisha Shamari Sylvain, 27, is being held in jail on numerous no-bond holds. A judge also issued a bond totaling $4.5 million for several charges.
A woman accused of posing as a caregiver to steal from elderly victims in Broward County is facing 86 charges, records showed.
Jamisha Shamari Sylvain, 27, appeared in bond court again Wednesday to face new charges, including armed and unarmed burglary of an occupied dwelling, third-degree grand theft, exploitation of the elderly involving less than $20,000, and fraudulent use of personal information.
Sylvain was arrested back in December 2025 on several charges after reports that an elderly man was being exploited by a woman posing as a caregiver at B’nai B’rith I, II, and III in Deerfield Beach.

Sylvain was released from jail in May, and since then, detectives have identified at least two new cases involving a "similar ruse" as before, with Sylvain falsely identifying herself to gain the trust of elderly victims, BSO officials said.
“Jamisha Shamari Sylvain is not, and has never been, an employee of The Pointe at Deerfield Beach. Ms. Sylvain falsely identified herself as an employee of the community to gain entrance, but a member of our security team recognized the situation, intervened promptly and contacted law enforcement," said Lauren Rogers, vice president of brand marketing at Sinceri Senior Living. "Their vigilance and quick action helped protect our residents and assisted law enforcement in its response. Ms. Sylvain was subsequently taken into custody. The safety and security of our residents are of the utmost importance.”
She was taken into custody Monday night after an hours-long standoff, officials said.
