About Sarah

I enjoy getting to know my clients and providing care based on their preferences. I love socializing with clients and hearing about their lives and their interests, but for clients that prefer a more quiet environment I find myself spending more time preparing their favorite meals from scratch while still being available for them at all times. I enjoy caring for others because it feels like it comes naturally to me, so much so that I am going back to school for a second degree, this time for nursing. I understand what an honor it is to be able to provide excellent care for others, and am excited to get to go to work each day knowing that I am making a real difference.

I like being a caregiver because I like to help people. Currently I mainly work as a preschool teacher and I love seeing them achieve things and help them get to goals. I enjoy cooking and organizing so if the job involves those things that would be a plus, but my main reason for becoming a caregiver is I love to help people with anything they need. I've done g-tube and trach care and minimum catheter care. I've also had experience working with older people and also younger that are sick.
