I have been working with Sharifah since December 2021. It is more than three years now and we are still working together. Since December 2021, I have been supervising a large team to take care of a now almost 100-year-old semi-retired scientist. Sharifah has been one of the most reliable, compassionate, loyal, detail-oriented, honest, sweet, and professional caregivers we have ever had on our team. Because this case is very complicated and the care is quite demanding and detail-oriented, we had to hire and dismiss several people as they couldn't handle all the requirements. The patient had a hip fracture, so the mobility was initially completely and now partially compromised, among others the patient has Parkinson's, Parkinson's induced dementia, swallowing problems, hernia, a lot of skin problems, edema, high as well as low blood pressure, heart failure, etc. Sharifah has handled her job under these circumstances to our highest expectations and with perfection. She is just excellent! If you need a caregiver to a loved one, try to get her, and don't look further. You can get my contact information from her and contact me for more information if you want. She is very respectful, and punctual and is always willing to help as well as step in whenever we have emergencies. She is great with hoyer lift, wound care, medication, taking blood pressure and other vitals and keeping records of them, and assessing the patient's overall daily well-being, very calm in difficult and stressful situations. If you want to have peace of mind about your loved one's care, then Sharifah is the caregiver you need.
