Hi my name is Sharon, For the past 12 years I have been a companion for several elderly dementia and Alzheimer's Seniors. I also have experience with Parkinson's Seniors. I have experience giving insulin shots and checking there sugar levels. I have dispensed medication and done meal prep. The ages of the seniors I have been with are 85, 86, 92 and 97 plus a 102-year-old Man. I have assisted with bathing by giving a shower and blow drying there hair plus styling it. I can do laundry and make beds. I have a positive attitude. I love to laugh and I'm a very honest person plus I am very dependable. I'm a Non Smoker and I love cats and dogs. My fingerprints are registered with the State of Michigan. Due to my prior job as a School Bus Driver for 34 years before doing Companion work. I have a lot of patience. I have references from 7 different families. Also I have found out that when you say No to working for some people on this website they leave bad reviews on your profile.

Priceless!! Sharon's empathy and compassion made her family and friend care for our 84-year old mother (mid-stage Alzheimer's). Sharon was Mom's companion, taking her to breakfast and dinner at Blossom Ridge (Oakland Twp) and watching endless seasons of Andy Griffith afterward. Sharon came in daily. She ensured her hearing aids and dentures were fitted in the morning, cleaned, and put away in the evening. She helped mom get dressed in the a.m. and later-PJs on, teeth brushed, and tucked into bed. Twice a week, she thoroughly showered Mom, blow-dried and styled her hair. We were exhausted from caring for our mom; Sharon relieved us-three daughters with families and jobs. She was our Mary Poppins. We are grateful for Sharon's skills, quick adaptability, humanity, and great sense of humor!
