About Sylvia

My name is sylvia j Ferguson. For the past 9 years I've been working with elderly people. And iam very passionate about it, i dont like to know that they're in pain or feeling sad ,especially when they knew what they use to do for themselves ,it seems like their independent as taking away from them.,but that why we're here to give them back the feeling, they believe they lost, my dad died 3years ago ,and i wasn't even there to help look after him,and that's break my heart. But that doesn't stop me from shearing my love n blessing and respect for others, when iam apart of ur institute I'll work with the best of my ability. ,urs sylvia

I became a caregiver to provide warmth and comfort the the elderly and disabled. I like making the client feel secure and know that they can trust me. I give 110% to everything I do. When they see a familiar face everyday it makes them feel good and their willingness becomes better as the days go by. Their faces light up and they talk to you about anything that's on their mind. Even if they say the same things over and over again, it gives them great pleasure that you are willing to listen. Seeing the happiness on their face is the best achievement that I could ever give. Knowing that they are happy and content. I have been doing this so long, it doesn't feel like a job more like accomplishment. Helping people who can't help themselves. Lite housekeeping, medication reminder, food preparation, bed bath, baths, errands, medical visits, arts and crafts, accompanying them outside, laundry, inventory and anything else they will need. My serves is available Monday thru Friday. Full days

I became a caregiver because I grew up in a children's home and there was a particular elder lady who took an interest in me. I grew to love her and felt a need to protect her, as we developed a close bond. When I became 18, I was visiting her at the nursing home until she passed unfortunately. In addition, I love working with the elderly & interacting with them.
