About Sherry

I am a great caregiver because I'm a very outgoing person and compassionate with a big heart for the elderly for they hold special place in my heart. I actually was a Nanny for 5yrs and when she started school I wasn't needed, but the family set me up as a caregiver with a friend of the family. She was 94 yrs and was a sweetheart with spunk. That's how I began my caregiving career. I enjoy taking care of people I'm a very nurturing person. It comes natural for me. I've learned a lot about myself doing this job. I learned that I need to be thankful every day for my good health. I've learned how to take care of catheters, feeding tubes, suction machines, colostomy patients, paralyzed patients, stroke patients. I took care of my Mom who had COPD until she passed and I worked night shift with another patient while doing that. Then When that patient passed away I started with another. Then I finally ended up having to take care of my Dad which I'm so fortunate I could. Now that he has passed I'm ready to start back caregiving for others. This experience allowed me to care for my parents who I loved with all my heart and so thankful that I could.

I took care of a male about 70yrs old due to a stroke it left him partially paralyzed, with a catheter and a feeding tube. I took care of his personal hygiene, medication, feeding tube, catheter and doctor appts , along with light housekeeping. His wife has Parkinson’s so I assisted her when needed. I stayed with that family until he passed away. All of my clients . I do not like switching from patient to patient I am a very loyal person and I stay employed until they pass away. This may sound strange but I consider it a privilege to be a part of their life and I love this type of work.

Hello! I am an energetic caregiver with a passion for caring for seniors. Since I was in High School, I knew I wanted to devote my life to caring for seniors. I absolutely love how having a meaningful converstaion with someone can turn their entire day around. For the last several years I have worked as an Activity Coordinator in the Memory Care department of a senior living community. This job made me fall in love with this vulnerable population. It takes a very special personality to care for these individuals and I want to share my skills and passion by enriching the lives of others. I have previously worked as a personal trainer and feel comfortable assisting in exercises given from physical therapists. I am currently employed part time as a fitness instructor for a local senior center. I am currently in school for Health Systems Management and looking for flexibile opportunities to maintain my caregiving skills. I am looking for afternoon opportunities but can be available occasional weekends if planned in advance.
