About Sally

As a senior myself, I find I have rapport with my clients that younger caregivers usually do not. We become good friends. I am easy going, healthy, entertaining and a good cook. Families and I get along well and become part of the family. After retiring from owning a travel agency for 20 yrs., I was looking to find a part time position and fate drew me to caregiving. I enjoy interacting with people, and working in the travel field equipped me for this work. I am proud of obtaining my AA degree after retirement at 70. I am a portrait artist and enjoy painting as my hobby.

Senior Caregiver

Apr 2011 - Jun 2020
Luippold
Worked eight years for a senior couple, both who have recently died. They were in their late 80's. I was one of three caregivers and worked three days per week. I cooked meals, shopped for groceries, transported to medical appointments, made appointments and assisted as a liaison with doctors. Ordered and picked up and administered meds. One of the couple used a walker and oxygen. I was responsible for oxygen use. Frequently interacted with family. Light household duties. Walked the dog. Took small pleasure trips, ie. around the lake, lunch, etc.

When I was growing up, I helped care for my grandmother. I learned then that I really enjoyed caring for older people and bringing joy to their lives. I really love what I do!
