About Sandra

The desire to become a caregiver was the result of experiencing my husband's grandparents' slow decline without family in close proximity. This resulted in working in assisted living communities, then in-home care, and mostly recently in a full-care and rehabilitation community. It has been a passion of mine to assist others in any way I can. I've cooked, cleaned, ran errands, provided personal care, emptied or changed catheter bags, administered insulin shots, assisted with Hoyer lifts and si-to-stands, exercises following doctor's or therapist's instructions, dispensed medications per doctor's instructions and other family or community's requests. It has resulted in the most rewarding job I've ever held in all my years of employment.

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I like being able to assist others with chores and duties they cannot fulfill themselves, as well as being a companion to the elderly. A personal achievement I have made is making a difference in someone else's life. I have achieved this by tutoring many students within various school districts in all subjects, and youths both incarcerated and released, but were on probation. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Admin/Human Services, and plan to start on my Master's degree in the near future in Social work or Psychology. I love spending time with family and worship my four grandsons, they are a true blessing to me! ***My rates vary depending on the type of care needed and for multiple people. I also charge double time on holidays. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!
