About Candice

My care-giving interest began with my brother as he was born with Cerebral Palsy and he was 10 years older then men. Moving to Arizona I became his full-time caregiver for 16 years until his death this past February. I have experience with using a Hoyer lift, wheelchair transfers, bed baths, feeding, medication reminders and meal preparation. Care-giving is my chosen field and I am dedicated to providing quality service and meeting the needs of the client. I am a Certified Caregiver, First Aid/CPR Certified and have a Level 1 Fingerprint Card. I am seeking part time work on Tuesday and Wednesday only, from 8am - 6pm in the Avondale, Goodyear and Tolleson areas.

*** Hi my name is Sandra. DO NOT let my asking rate per hour deter you from calling me if you're interested ! I am willing to negotiate although I will tell you I am worth every cent. I am presently taking an RN Refresher course so shorter shifts a couple days a week work best for me. I have 16+ years in the capacity of a nursing assistant. I have worked extensively in nursing homes, assisted living , home health care and hospital settings. I also have 15 years experience as an RN in acute care and long term hospitalion settings. A good chunk of that time was with veterans. I am 56 years old-a mature Christian woman who does not get easily frazzled or upset . I have a lot of patience and love and compassion to give..There is no doubt in my mind that this is a God-given gift to help mankind in anyway that I can as a caregiver for the rest of my life. If you are interested in talking to me about possibly taking care of your loved one I would be happy to hear from you. Blessings, Sandra Bombino
