About Sarah

I am an avid reader and a -new- gardener, i enjoy rainy days, the holidays, baking and air conditioning in the summer. I am very compassionate, and patient. I love caregiving because It isn't a job that is repetitive, I meet so many new faces, hear so many lovely stories, and feel the reward of showing strangers compassion as we become more than strangers throughout our time together! I was raised by my grandparents, and they would always joke with me and say "just you wait, you will be my age someday!" And that has really stuck with me, I do believe that every young person will have the honor of becoming a senior citizen, and I can only hope to take care of them the way I'd like to be taken care of someday
