About Sarah

Hello, I have over 13 years of experience as a home/institutional individual care giver. I am a very positive person with a gentle sense of humor. I am a compassionate, detailed, creative, and responsible person. I have graduate degrees. I have worked professionally for over 35 years in a variety of positions include USAF Reserve chaplaincy. My CNA license is current. I have worked in private homes, hospitals, assisted living homes, LTCF's, etc. I can run a household, deal with repair men, organize your paperwork, do any parts of it you need. I can collect the information needed and you make the decisions. I am also good at cooking, light house keeping, running errands, getting clients to doctor appointments, taking care of a pet in the house, and being a good companion. I like situations where my listening and conversational skills will be used. Being a caregiver is not a hobby. It is something I do as a professional. I charge more because I am bringing maturity and experience. I have very strong Austin references available.

Hi Ive been in the medical field in various levels of patient care over 35 years. I have prenursing training and education , Im a registered Phlebotomist and Medical Assistant, much more than a CNA. After caring for my 95 year old mom for 6 years; the realization needing an xtra hand, if nothing else to get a break , was challenging to locate a professional quality caregiver that actually knew what they were doing, and were reliable. It's important to have a good fit with your reliable caregiver. In order to achieve quality care, the well-being , help maintain as much independence as possible, and mentally stimulation; plus provide comfortably safe environment is crucial. I offer a variety of shifts, days, and nights, over-night and weekends /holidays stays, to assist, and provide that much needed break to the full time family caregivers. Especially if you are on your own and need a helping hand till you recover, I'm there for you. I enjoy making a difference helping those that really need it. If it will help you stay home versus a skilled facility I'll be there to assist where I can. I take pride in being punctual, accomplishing the tasks at hand, and providing you peace of mind you have someone you can rely upon. Majority of my past clients still think of me as family; that warms my heart Thank you for considering me
