Hi, My name is Cheryl Gyllenband, and I've been a private and professional caregiver for approximately 14 yrs. I am fascinated by our geriatric community and it is with joy and honor, I serve each of my clients. I take my position very seriously, as there are situations where I am their only contact for extended periods. Each person is treated with dignity, and respect they all deserve and the compassion / understanding they all need. Aging is hard and giving up control of our lives is harder. Each client is unique, none fitting into a prestructured plan. I fully realize this and find it important to develop a relationship with those I care for so, together, we can develop a routine based on their abilities and where they need assistance. My first role as a caregiver was my father in law. He was an independent, intelligent educator...and resisted my care until we came to a mutual understanding to trust and respect one another and all I did was in his best interest. I cared for him 24/7 almost 2 yrs. It was exhausting, yet the most rewarding thing I'd ever accomplished. He shared his life and experiences, heartbreaks and happiness with me. He was pleased I wanted to listen to his stories... ..that what he'd done in life mattered. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him with love and appreciation as he made me into the compassionate caregiver I am now. Since then, I've had many clients over the past 12 yrs and have been blessed to be a part of each of their lives and included in their stories and I have been honored to be by their sides til their journey was over. At some point, caregiving stops being a job...we become family. My greatest strength and attributes are that I care with empathy and heart...and the golden rule, "Do unto others..."
