About Sherry

I'm very compassionate, caring, loyal, trustworthy, patient, dependable, responsible and reliable. I'm very compassionate about my work and i really enjoy caring for others. I've always given my "all" in every client that i have worked with. I have a gift of patience, caring and understanding. I've always had a nurturing spirit and it is a rewarding experience to help others. I've been working as a Private Duty caregiver for approximately 40 years with Hospice , Alzheimer, Dementia &, Parkinson and elderly clients. My personal achievement is to be the very best at every opportunity God has blessed me with; and make my client feel as safe and secure while in my care. I've worked with terminally ill clients from the beginning until the end(administered medications, contacted hospice & family, etc). I would take care of feeding tubes(flushing, hook& unhook(Kangaroo pump). I've worked with clients as a Personal Care Asst, Direct Support Asst and an advanced personal aide with wound care, catheter care, bladder/bowel care, bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, laundry, companionship, shopping, errands, etc. I took care of my husband that passed away suddenly 7 years ago, my ill mother-in-law and terminally ill father. I'm available evenings, overnights(preferably) and weekends. I have a full-time job, but am available as soon as possible.

    I think the traits that make me a good candidate for caregiver are that I am empathetic to the client's situation, understanding that I am their to assist the client' in achieving their goals, and I'm an active listener and truly try to get a view of the entire situation going on. I have worked with many different populations with stronger emphases in mental health, developmental disabilities, and addiction and recovery. I have worked with clientele as young as 18 and as old as 90, so I am rather comfortable working with any age group.
