About Sheila

When I'm caring for my seniors, I take care of them as if they are my grandparent. I never met my grandmother because she died before I was born so that love in my heart that I would have had for her is distributed to each of my seniors. I began visiting nursing homes and just walk into the first room I saw a senior in and I would just sit there and listen to the wisdom that they have and learn from them. For the demented and Alzheimer patients, I would get them in their comfort zone talking about their childhood or past experiences because they felt in control of their mind at that time because they knew and remembered exactly what they were talking about and that would bring them so much confidence and it would bring me so much joy to see their faces light up knowing that they were in control of their memory right at that particular moment. It's priceless. This is exactly the way I am today with my seniors. I love each one of them and it brings me so much joy to see them full of confidence. The beauty of my time with my senior is that, if the family will allow me to love who they love, the connection between me and the senior is priceless and the family will gain trust and peace with having me be a part of their senior's life...

I believe in delivering quality of life for seniors and clients of any age! Showing compassion through sincere listening and being present for the clients I care for is a top priority. Through home visits with various agencies, live-in care, and working with an Assisted Living Center my combined services to the elderly have helped me thrive in the industry of caring. In the realm of younger folks, I drove a school bus for years and taught home schooled children including my own. I taught a class on self-empowerment based on the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series too. The classes I taught were an eye-opener and perhaps opened the door to a new way of viewing life. The life experiences I've had with Seniors who have become family to me and ultimately my friends has given me much more than I could have possibly conceived of giving to them! I found that with kids, being present and seeing the beautiful gifts they have inside always brought those gifts out with the acknowledgement. The services I've provided are most assuredly a soul's calling! Senior care and working with younger folks has been a perfect fit with my desire to make a difference with others, and the kind of career I totally enjoy! I have a knack for understanding human nature and the needs of the heart and naturally, I learned this through my own life experiences. We all are truly one when it comes to matters of the heart and what this life means! Applying the knowledge of our oneness is what the care of others is all about. I'm seeing my own reflection in the hearts of those that I serve in this type of work. From that seeing, I give the best of who I am to others! Importantlly too is the fact that I am CPR and First Aid Certified and have over 20 years experience caring for Seniors.
