About Sushma

I became a caregiver 16 years ago when a few clients at my previous job told me that I had the potential to be one.They told me that they could see that it came naturally to me and that I had all the patience and compassion to do this kind of work. Caregiving is a kind of job that is rewarding in so many ways and to me the number one thing is that at the end of the day I have made a difference in someone's life. There are a few personal achievements that I'm proud of but the main one would be getting a Caregiver of the Year Award from one of my employer's. I'm a single mother with two teenager's and both my children and I are involved in our community as much as we can.We had started a tradition 5 years ago that on Christmas morning we go out to feed and give presents to the homeless and its been a success. This is just a way of teaching my children how to appreciate what they have and become productive members of our community.

Margaret M.

$25.00/hour · Carmichael, CA
My name is Margaret and I am actively seeking a caregiving position. I have been with my current client for 3 1/2 years but the time has come to make a change. I am a Dementia and Alzheimer's specialist. I am experienced in Memory Care. Memory Care clients are my favorite people in all of healthcare! Though my first pick is with the Dementia and Alzheimer's clients, I have had other clients with other conditions, such as, stroke, diabetes and congested heart failure etc.. In 2011 when my ex mother in law became sick I became one of her caregivers. It was then that I realized how much I enjoyed caring for her. I do believe this is my calling. I was once offered a position as manager of a home health company. I did not think I could do that job. I was right because I need to be the caregiver not the office person. I love my job. I like everything about caregiving. I love my seniors. I love their stories and their laughter. I'm happy when they are happy. I look forward everyday to seeing my seniors. I love cooking, cleaning and fussing over my seniors, so I'm a natural at caregiving. Remember if you love what you do it's never a job. My fee starts at $25 an hour. My fee increases if the shift is split. Also would like employer to pay a share of taxes. I am currently working for $24 an hour but I am not so sure that after 36.5 months it's working. So money is not the deciding factor for me. If you are looking for an experienced Alzheimer and or Dementia CNA , I could be the one!
