About Sarah

I became a caregiver because I have a deep passion for the care industry. Watching and learning for my mother who has been an RN for the past 30 years taking care of the elderly deepened my passion. For the past 6 years I have had extensive experience as a personal care aid working in different sectors and environments from nursing homes, private duty, private home care, in home health care and hospitals. I am currently attending college pursuing my nursing degree as an honors student. Caring for others is not only a deep passion but it is I believe my purpose as well. I love being a caregiver because it teaches me a lot of powerful life lessons and skills; and also the ability to be there when there is a need and provide the appropriate most effective care and make a positive difference or contribution is something that is very important to me. I have learned the power of empathy, to be able to put myself in another's shoes and learn how to give the kind of care that I would love to receive if I was in a specific predicament. The important of dependability, to be there and provide the most appropriate and effective care in a time of great insecurity. I understand the value of patience, to take the time, energy and put in the work that is required to understand the specific needs of a patient and be able to provide effective specialized care.
