About Sharon

I am a certified Personal Care Assistant, kind, honest and a loving person who works great with your loved ones. I try to have my patients engaged in activities that they enjoy doing thus stimulating their brain functions and promote cognitive stills. I am experienced in health care duties such as caring for my patient that is inactive and needs assistant to get in and out of bed. I care for patient that has a variety of diagnoses such as Alzheimer/Dementia, diabetic etc. Patient that are incontinent as well as to toilet my patient. I take all vitals as requested by family members or the doctor and do medication reminders. I do showers daily or as directed by family members. My attraction to becoming a care giver was my love for assisting the elderly since childhood. I love being around them listening to the wonderful stories that they relate during their childhood. I enjoy taking care of their needs, sitting with my patient and being drawn in any form of skills that interest them. My greatest enjoyment in being a caregiver is to see the smiles on my patients faces when they have come in to an achievement. And finally my personal achievement that makes me proud is the fact that I have given my patient all, truly all that I can give to let your loved ones feel a sense of security that I will be with them to the very end.
