Sherry’s Bio
Hello,
I would like to introduce myself.
I am a dedicated professional, and well-qualified as a senior caregiver and advocate. I have a passion for serving seniors. I have 10+ years caregiving and advocating for two clients, my parents, husband and wife who had declining mental and emotional health.
I became a full time, live in caregiver to my folks. I was their companion. I saw to it they had the appropriate social interaction. I oversaw their ADLs, medication management, doctor's visits, grocery shopping, meal prep, housekeeping, outings and family pet care.
I am skilled and experienced with patients who have Alzheimer's and associated Dementia diseases. This requires a certain set of skills involving being adaptable and creative when interacting with clients experiencing cognitive decline with accompanying emotional changes. I am proactive in the assurance that my client receive the select services and care they will need.
I am currently finishing up my 4 year degree in Gerontology. I ultimately want to put my life experience and my education to work by becoming a senior advocate.
I am not new to this platform. I was although on the other side as I was the one looking for the appropriate care for my parents and it can be daunting.
Best to you and your family while you continue to find the right fit for your loved one's care.
Upon your request I will proceed with a background check.
Thank you in advance for considering me for the honor of taking care of your family member.
