Sonya’s Bio
Hi there,
Wow! Where to start! I am years old. I have been married for over twenty years to my husband Ken, He is a Chemical Engineer. We have three daughters. twenty, sixteen and eleven. I am in need of some additional income for college expenses for my oldest child. She is a Psychology major at USC, upstate. I have no formal training or certification but unfortunately I have lots of experience with this special challenge. My Grandma that I absolutely adore is now in a nursing home ans no idea who I am. She was my best friend. She made me who I am today. My Grandaddy that I love more than can ever be described is now 88 and still lives alone although he shouldn't. I help have helped them as they declined in health over the last twenty years. Personal care, keeping the house clean. laundry, changing bedding, keeping medicine orgainized and scheduled. I also can move furniture for optimal safety in the home. I handle there insurance problems, doctor visits, grocery shopping and meal prep with extras frozen or in the refrigerator for later. I can also tell you that what I think is the most valuable, is the companionship. A friend to talk to, that respects them and lets them know they matter. Never talking over them and/or not including them. Keeping them safe yet maintaining their dignity as a viable person. Now that I am getting older, I notice my children doing the exact same thing to me that I unfortunately used to do. I am not as fast as I used to be, hearing and sight can be a bit challenging. It makes me feel "less than". I will be mindful of that feeling for the rest of my life. When I see seniors around the grocery store it breaks my heart. I want to help them so badly. I know I could help them so much. I would truly be honored to be trusted with your loved one, that I am guessing you wish you could turn back time for them.. Oh what I would give for a moment of clarity with my Grandma. Please let me know if you think I might be a great match for your needs.
