About Sheryl

I am a mom of 2 beautiful daughters - 18 and 9. Although I don't currently have any at the moment, I am a foster care mom (resource parent). I became a caregiver in 1983. I worked as a CNA at a nursing home. I love caring for the elderly. I achieve great satisfaction knowing that the care I provide makes someone feel better and more comfortable. My greatest accomplishment is becoming the first in my family to graduate high school and college. I graduated from Drexel (formerly Hahnemann ) University School of Allied Health Professions and became an RN in 1987. I completed a parish nursing program and earned my BSN in 2003. I work only part time. I am very interested in performing meaningful work for 3 - 4 hours daily while my children are in school. I am very nurturing and caring. I am respectful, patient and kind. I pay attention to details. I love to talk, and I am a good listener. I am reliable. I have current child link, criminal background and FBI clearances. My clearances are mandatory because I am a licensed foster care provider, minister and a registered nurse. My background is senior care, oncology, hospice and the health insurance industry. I am also a licensed minister.

I became an Independent Contractor/ Caregiver because I want to leave each life that I touch better than when we first met. I want to make a difference, to make things better, to heal the hurt and to calm the fears of my patients and their families. One of my personal achievements that I am very proud of, is that I go above and beyond for my patients. I am a very caring, loving and sympathic to my patient's needs.
