About Susan

Over the years, we thought we were just doing what we needed to to survive. I worked my way up to be a casino executive while my daughter relearned the majority of her motor functions and had several major surgeries as we strove for her to be just a regular "kid". Unbeknownst to me, I was acquiring a wealth of knowledge and experience which would prove invaluable for myself and my clients in years to come. At four years old, my daughter was paralized from Guillaime Barre Syndrome. At that time, this Syndrome was so rare, especially in pediatric patients, that several doctors would stop by our hospital room just to have a look at this frail, tiny girl. Unfortunately, that also meant that doctor's didn't have alot of information about my daughters illness for me either. From that point forward, as any nurturing mother would do, I set out to learn as much as I could, and do whatever was within my power to facilitate the healing process for her. This journey brought me from St. Josephs' Childrens Hospital and the Barrow Neurological Institute to the Shriner's Childrens Hospital, and finally after a relocation to Las Vegas, to the private medical community in this city. During this time, I found that I had generally acquired more knowledge of the syndrome than a lot of the medical personnel we were encountering. Not only of this particular syndrome, but of insurance policy's, pre existing conditions, medications and the intricacies of the pharmaceutical industry, patient insurance billing, authorization and co pays, to mention just a small portion. This lifetime of education bestowed upon me has been an invaluable tool in my caregiving career. Thus in turn, it has also benefitted each client I have had over the past ten + years as a caregiver.

What makes me a great Caregiver is that I am a caring, empathetic and compassionate person who takes great care of my patients. I see each individual as an an opportunity to help someone. I have always been a caring person, who would take care of others no matter who. I've never been one to see others who are having a hard time or are in need of assistance and not try to help in some way. My friends say it's because I have a soft, caring heart.

The reason why I wanted to be a caregiver is because when I was a little girl; there was an elderly lady that lived down the street from me who had know one to help her at all. I would go sit with her and run errands for her just because that's what God wanted me to do, and I enjoyed it. I knew one day that I would do the same for others, who just needed a helping hand. I truly enjoy helping others and being a part of a support system for them as well. Now, on the other hand I take pride in what I do and I treat my clients like family; not like just another paycheck to collect. I'm honest and hard working, very diligent in providing the proper care that's needed. Also, being reliable is something I take very seriously because that person is counting on me to be there on time. If you want someone who is professional but kind, gets tasks done in a timely fashion, and is dependable then I feel that I am a great candidate. Thank you
