About Susan

I am recent graduate RN from Sonoma State University. I am beginning a second career in nursing after working for years in science at the university level (both research and teaching). While completing my prerequisites for nursing school, I worked as a CNA in a local facility. I provided care to seniors and post-acute rehab residents, and I loved it! I assisted residents with mobility and activities of daily living, including bathing, grooming and eating. I worked with residents affected by conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's, dementia, COPD, recent surgery, and cancer. I believe that each individual deserves respect, patience and a little bit of humor every day. I am available for part-time work assisting you or your loved one. My schedule is very flexible right now, I am available for backup care, vacation respite care, or regular part time care. I can help with medications, mobility, companionship, and other basic nursing needs. Please contact me if you would like to meet, and see if I would be a good fit for your family!

Even as a teenager, I had a special affinity for the elderly and still enjoy serving/helping them, talking with them, and learning about their life experiences. I have a B.S. in Nursing and M.A. in Humanistic Psychology. Both of these disciplines require excellent observation skills which I use continuously to assess the mental and physical status of the people I care for. I enjoy working in situations where family is caring and involved and in which communication with family is encouraged. I am an active, healthy 72-year-old widow, mother of an adult son and daughter, and enjoy clogging, crocheting, reading, beading, volunteering and playing classical piano. My experiences as a nurse and mother, and years working with developmentally disabled adults have prepared me for working with those who need care-giving services. But, most importantly, I have a protective heart for the elderly.
