Sherry began working as a care giver for my mother in July 2012 and is still currently assisting her. During the four hours, six days a week that she is employed, Sherry manages a wide scope of duties. She assists my mother with bathing, dressing, shampooing and setting her hair, as well as preparing a main meal for the day. She keeps her apartment clean and organized, and does her laundry every week. She also takes her to a biweekly doctor appointment and drives her to the grocery store and assists her with shopping, as well as other errands. Sherry's upbeat, positive demeanor and energy very often coax her out of a bad mood. My mother is diabetic and has had a stroke for which she was hospitalized. Sherry is very attentive to these medical issues and is invaluable in keeping me aware of any changes. There are many more small things that Sherry does to make my mother's days more comfortable and pleasant and I have not listed all of them here. However, one of my mother's favorite things is the pedicure and manicure that Sherry gives her on a regular basis, painting her nails with vibrant colors. I hope this gives an adequate description of all the things that Sherry does. I find that she takes her work very seriously and handles every aspect in a very professional manner. Her positive and upbeat attitude is an added plus. Please feel free to contact me if any further clarification is needed. Pamela
