About Sharon

Hi, My name is Sharon Dennis, and I'm formally from the lovely island of Barbados. What makes me an outstanding Care giver is that it has always been my nature to give back to older ones, not only in a secular setting, but outside my daily working schedule as well . I'm constantly drawn to Mature ones who can no longer help themselves, to the degree they once used to, and so I feel the need to be that special "tool " to help them. I became a care-giver to help restore the dignity that is lost, to such valuable ones in "MY" society. I see no problem giving of my time, strength, ability, to those who no longer posses such. What I treasure most about being a care-giver, is getting to know the client personally ,their childhood, upbringing, memories and talents. The Personal achievement I'm proud of ( which I'm sure any great Aide can attest to ) is transforming the most "difficult" temperamental Client , into a gem and a great friend .
