About Cheryl

I have been in caregiver career positions that have shown my ability and desire to help people. My passion to help the elderly/handicap has been born out of going through some difficult years of caring for my Dad with ailing health problems before he passed away last year. I am a retired flight attendant with many years’ experience caring for senior citizens and handicap passengers on board. I have also been a manager/house parent for a safe house for abused women and children. I was able to provide transportation, be a listening ear as a crisis counselor, assist with the need of residents by cooking, cleaning, monitor prescription drug usage along with any other needs that came up. During this career I experienced the reward of helping those in need. My passion is to be a companion, assistant, and home aid so that senior citizens and disabled clients may enjoy their home for as long as possible. I feel I have the compassion, care and listening abilities required for this position. My dependability can be referenced to when I was a flight attendant. I was faithful to my flights and hundreds of passengers depending on me by showing up on time and performing the duties this position required. I look forward to being a compassionate, caring, kind care giver for your loved ones.

I started helping my grandparents at a young age. I could relate to them, and would sit and listen to 78 rpm records, w/ my grandfather, and he would tell me stories about the music we listened to. I traveled around the World, w/ my parents at their families,and would have to help them in their needs. In 2000, I started working at Nursing Homes in Boulder, and have continued to this day. I can relate to the elderly, whether they are male or female. I like seeing them happy and pleased, when I have helped them in any way. The fact that I have been with various clients for over 6 yrs. continuously, before they have passed on. I live in Lafayette, Colo. Am a homeowner, am very religiously minded, and am always putting "other people first", before myself. I always think of the aspect of: "how would I feel, were I in the other individuals' shoes?" and how they would want to be treated?
