About Sarah

I first became a caregiver out of necessity, but fell in love with it. I became great pals with the elderly man I assisted and enjoyed caring for him. I find it humbling and rewarding to care for someone who can no longer fully care for themselves. I consider myself to be a kind, hard-working, and compassionate person who loves serving others, and I've been told that I am an excellent listener. I also love farming and gardening; my husband and I are working on having land of our own one day. The elderly man I cared for previously had a small garden and I thoroughly enjoyed helping work it in the summers. This line of work is near to my heart as I've lost 3 grandparents over the last 2 years, two of which received hospice care. I want other families to have the same peace of mind that mine had knowing our loved ones were being cared for properly in their later years. Thank you for considering and trusting me to take care of you!

I was hired by a family to care for their elderly father. I was responsible for helping him through his morning routine which entailed helping him out of bed, getting dressed, eating breakfast, and taking his daily medications. I was also responsible for cooking meals, housekeeping, assisting his mobility (via wheelchair and walker), transporting him to and from doctors' appointments, and overall companionship.

For the past decade, I have assisted aging, ill, and terminal friends and family in all aspects of their daily living to improve their quality of life in any reasonable manner possible. Although my certification expired, I have previously been certified in CPR and will re-certify ASAP. I am quite familiar with medication regimes and am experienced in IM injections, such as those required for a diabetic client, but I am not certified for Intravenous Injection. I have inserviced and provided/administered many forms of occupational and physical therapies for clients and am accomplished in therapeutic massage and pedicures. I provide reading services, am an accomplished Scrabble player, enjoy card games, such as Rummy (but no Poker or Bridge...), and play other board games and enjoy jigsaw puzzles, also. While my Bachelor of Arts is in English, with a minor in Speech Communications, much of my professional work has involved in crisis management and governmental processes so I am very familiar with "Red Tape" and dealing with the requirements of documentation for personal/ medical / and social programs. I am also an accomplished cook and homemaker and if I don't know the recipe or the process, I will locate or take direction for the best possible results in the kitchen, bath, and home. Finally, I am an intelligent, caring woman, raised on a farm in South Louisiana, educated and well-read, have a good and practical sense of humor and a well developed caring mentality, steeped in patience and compassion.
