About Sandra

I have worked in the south Chicago suburbs as a caregiver for seniors and children for several families. I started my career in 1997. All of my jobs were long term. I love working as a caregiver and have much experience in this area. Providing care for seniors for many years, I have developed a strong desire to continue working in this field. You will find me to be very caring and thoughtful to clients’ needs. A kind word, compassion and understanding to the one who is in need are my priorities. My natural and learned skills to recognize unique qualities in people have helped me to develop a special connection with each person. Also, my training at Lincoln College as a medical coder has contributed to my knowledge of medical conditions and disease symptoms. This has greatly helped me to recognize if there are changes in someone’s health and bringing it to their attention. In my previous positions, I have worked with people who were physically or psychologically challenged. With their doctor’s guidance, I have helped to strengthen them physically with exercises designed for each specific need. Emotional and psychological problems would be addressed by understanding the situation, symptoms and knowledge of human psychology. Besides my professional skills, I have more to offer. I am cheerful, active and creative. I like structure and consistency. I am always eager to help and able to go the extra mile.

Im kind genuine and very dependable . I Also Love working to help others in any way shape or form it gives me such joy and fulfillment to see someone smile laugh and often just the look of pleasure they sometimes have when you've helped them . I am proud as well as very fortunate enough to be raised by two awesome grandparents and when they were going through their transitions,I was more than happy, willing and honored to be by their sides so they would feel comfortable cared for without denying them independency . this is also why I became a caregiver and if any family would allow me,I will be as careing and helpful to the best of my ability to do the same.

1. Why did you become a caregiver? I love providing home caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoyed helping people so I know I am doing the right thing. 2. What do you like about being a caregiver? I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients’ lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. 3. what is a personal achievement you are proud? A personal achievement that I am proud of is caring for a client who didn't have any family and couldn't care for herself and becoming a big part of her life. 4. Tell us something about yourself? I am a very hard-working young woman I love being a certified nurses assistant. I love to helping people who aren't able to help themselves as if they would like to. I am very honest, passionate and loving.
