About Sarah

Hi there! My names Sarah Simon, and I'm 56, married to my wonderful husband Ron, and we have two children, Chris and Dustin. I spent the majority of my career working in the accounting field. In 2013 my eldest son was needing to undergo a double lung and liver transplant, so Chris and myself were forced to move to St. Louis to be within range of the hospital. A year and a half later, and after my son's transplant being a success, we were able to move back home to Garden Plain. Once home and looking for new jobs, I decided that it was time to find something new. I wanted to find a job where I could make a difference in the life of someone else rather than punching numbers into a calculator. I decided that the perfect job for me to do was to become a home care-giver. It allows me to help others who may not be able to help themselves, but my favorite facet of the job is simply the companionship that I can give to a patient, and also that I can find a new friend in all of my patients. The most special thing about my job is that I get to know the patients on a personal level just by being able to provide care and spending time with them.

I'm a little bit diffrent than the average caregiver. My positive energy and sincere love for people is wel lknown among the families of the paitents I've cared for in the past. Emotional health plays a major role in healing and living a fullfilling life. I strive to encourage general wellbeing and finding the positive in every task we will complete together. My personality type is called an Empath and with this unique skill set of feeling other people's emotions, I'm able to anticipate the needs of patients and provide valuable care while cultivating a meaningful relationship. Caregiving is my calling in life and by using this service I'm hoping to build a group of paitients who are in need of my unique caregiving skills. I'm very friendly, outgoing and energetic and with winter on it's way this is a desirable energy to have in the life of your loved one. Have a blessed day!
