Hi there,
My name is Sandy and I am 44 years old . I am a mother of 3 amazing young boys and a caretaker by heart. I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years and currently hold a position as a patient registration specialist /financial counselor at the local hospital after working for a local internist as a medical assistant for 13 years. I also earned my certified nursing certificate in 2004 . I have worked in convalescent homes, doctors offices as well as private homes. I am a very compassionate person and is sensitive to each individual needs. I am very organized , trustworthy and responsible and have excellent references. I can do light house work, yard work and errands as necessary. Since I am a mother of 3 boys , I have a sense of humor and thick skin when needed. I have seen it all as I have worked in all kinds of medical facilities so no need to be embarrassed or ask me for my help.
I worked 18 years for a company as a credit auditor. When my youngest child graduated from college I decided to pursue my passion and become a nurse. I graduated from an excellent CNA school and I had my very first client 2 months after I passed my state exams the first time. I love caring for others. I'm nurturing by nature and it has been so rewarding to provide care in a respectful and dignified way.
I have an extensive medical back ground, which includes, multiple years in the medical billing , coding field and hands on patient care. I am a honest, dependable, reliable, caring, compassionate and patient person by nature. All of these make me a perfect candidate.
This question takes me back to my first experience with working with seniors. I was 15, and working as a candy striper at a SNF in Livermore. The feeling is indescribable . I immediately knew that my calling was to care, assist, to help seniors, man kind in any capacity possible.
There are several achievements I am proud of. The most recent being the caregiver for my last client. This client had a reputation of being very demanding and difficult. I was able after an in-person interview, get the position. I held the position for 3 years at the clients request. The client had multiple agencies and caregivers until they found me.
Let me-help you.
The personal satisfaction from helping clients retain their dignity is what drives me.
Please note:
my pay is based on varying needs of the client and my experience.
Thank you Susan McGee
