Sarah’s Bio

Hi! I'm Sarah :)

I'm a reliable, devoted companion with a great sense of humor and a dedication to meaningful, service-oriented work. I have a wide range of caregiving experience, including dementia and post-operative care. I feel my greatest strength in this work is my empathy and my ability to meet others exactly where they are.

I have *always* been a people person. Friends and acquaintances often tell me that I have a unique way of helping those around me feel comfortable and safe being "themselves" (which is about the greatest compliment I could receive.).

I have a background in health and nutrition and love to cool colorful, healthy meals for my clients [when requested]. I aim to bring inspiration, love, and joy during my visits, not just practical help. It's very important to me that my clients feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for... and I believe that they do!

I'm happy to run errands, help with meals, provide transportation to appointments, help with housework, play games, go on walks, support with medication, offer a tender ear/emotional support, etc. I'm a non-smoker, have a crystal clear background, and a clean driving record.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my friends and in nature, seeing live music, learning to play the drums, and making jewelry--a business I am passionately and excitedly growing! My highest value in life is probably authenticity. But also: honesty/integrity, creativity, and compassion. I have a very strong ethical center and consider myself an extremely honest and trustworthy person. I've done a lot of "inner work" and am quite easy to get along with and talk to. I'm naturally inclined to like just about everyone, seek harmony in relationships, and to focus on commonalities versus differences. (I think the psychological term for this is "agreeability.") I have a lot of love in my heart and I seek to use it to make the world a more beautiful and connected place, in whatever little ways I can.

If this sounds like a good fit, I hope to hear from you! Thanks so much for reading.
