"Watching Over all that Matters" Thank you for considering Guardian Angels Sitting Service, LLC to watch over what matters most to you! Guardian Angels sitters are responsible, reliable, and enjoy spending time with the elderly. Guardian Angels has an extensive screening process; selecting only the most experienced sitters to care for our families.
Our Philosophy Live, Laugh, Learn is our philosophy when it comes to caring for the elderly. We truly believe that giving an elderly person companionship, pleasant conversation or someone to take them outside on a beautiful day for some sunshine will help improve their quality of life. It is our goal to provide caring and compassionate companions for the elderly, who will add to their life and make it as rich as possible. We believe that laughter is the best medicine! We not only hand select companions who have a sense of humor and who love to laugh, but also those who love to listen and learn. An elderly person has so much wisdom to share and if we just stop and listen we may learn so much about the world and their life as they remember it. No matter what your elderly loved one needs it will always begin with a smiling Angel…. ready and willing to live, laugh and learn!

What to expect Guardian Angels Sitting Service Elderly Sitting is for Elderly Companionship:
- When the elderly family member is lonely and needs or wants company
- When the primary caregiver cannot be there or if they need some time to themselves and the elderly person should not be left at home alone
- To assist them when they are not able to go out by themselves to: go for a walk or go outside to get fresh air, go to the doctors, do small errands such as the post office, bank, dry cleaners or grocery store or go on short outings around town.
Please note: We are NOT a homecare or nursing agency. Our sitters are NOT responsible for personal hygiene, bathing or assisting the member in the bathroom. All elderly members MUST be independent in the bathroom and be able to ambulate independently with or without an assistive device. If the member is in a wheelchair, they must be able to transfer in and out of the wheelchair, if need be, independently. Anyone taken out to a Doctors visit or outing MUST be independent in transfers in and out of the car as well as independent in ambulation with or without an assistive device. Our sitters are not required to be trained in transfers or ambulation and most are not trained nurses. Our sitters are professionally screened, have a clear background check and have multiple references that are checked. They have experience and enjoy spending time with the elderly. Some may have nursing or homecare experience, however we do not require this of our sitters. It is our primary concern that both our sitters and your loved ones remain safe at all times. It is our goal to provide you with a responsible, compassionate, personable, fun-loving sitter who will help enhance and improve the life of your loved one! |
