About Sarah

The reason I've decided to become a caregiver is that after the last 3 yrs as a nanny to a wonderful family I wanted to try the other end of the spectrum, so to speak. I helped care for my grandfather while he was sick and dying from cancer and though it was tough to watch him suffer, I know I helped to make him as comfortable as possible and I took great joy in knowing that I personally helped him. I'm looking to build a lasting relationship with a family that needs my services ... I'm nurturing, patient, fun, empathetic, dependable, giving and go above & beyond of whats expected. My grandfather made a big difference in my life and I'm wanting to pay it forward by helping a family and in way, a surrogate grandchild and/or child if the person has never had any. To make them feel special while taking care of their daily needs and also while helping to better myself for the future. ** WILL BE GETTING THE BACKGROUND CHECK COMPLETED THIS WEEK **

    Experience & Education

    Nanny

    Jun 2013 - Jun 2016
    Direnzo Family
    I was hired FT as a nanny for their kids ages 3 & 6mths, my household duties consisted of meal prep for the kids (but I usually had dinner started for the family prior to me leaving for the day), some light laundry/housekeeping and helped them train their new dog Athena. With the kids I was always taking them to the park, kids museum, helping the older child prepare for preschool & kindergarten. During the winter time we'd do lots of arts & crafts, baking & decorating for the holidays. During my last 2 yrs there, they had asked me to help look after their grandfather. So 2-3 days a week I would leave early and look after him. Those duties consisted of cleaning, laundry, walking his dogs, meal prep and companionship.

    Calm, cool, and collected. I am a nursing assistant with mainly home healthcare experience. When it comes to caring for others I excel at maintaining and developing an atmosphere safe enough for clients at all times. I treat those in my care like family, while still maintaining professional conduct. I strive to build trusting & lasting connections. Being a nursing assistant has been amazing, but my goal is to complete my education as a physcian's assistant. Caring for others comes so natural for me that furthering my education in the field of health is simply a bonus & a blessing. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Kotty

    I became a caregiver five years ago because I love to help others and make them feel comforted. What I like most about being a caregiver is that I know i'am helping others that need it most, especially when their families can not always be there to help. I like making others feel loved and comforted. I'am proud of all the certificates I have received in the past five years of being a Personal Care Worker. Iam a 26 year old female with no children who has a big heart. I always put others needs before mine and love taking care of and helping others.
