About Sandra

I am an enthusiastic people person. I began my health care work in 1983 as a lifeguard for the developmentally disabled. I attended AACC for that license and CCBaltimore for psychology & abnormal psychology. By May of 1992 I was offered the position as an assistant house counselor. I studied & was certified as a med tech by the University of MD school of nursing. I had additional certification seminars through John's Hopkins. I became the head live in house counselor by September of 1992. I lived with 7 MR adults until 1996 when I relocated to a smaller home in the community with 3 Mr & physically handicapped adults I let in may of 1998 and began my career working in geriatrics at Rolling meadows Assisted living in June. I am b a Md State certified CNA. I am CPR/ and first aid certified. I have my entire life loved helping & caring for anyone sick, abused, injured or depressed....including animals. I lived with my parents at my maternal grandmothers house from 1972-until her death in 1983. I developed a tremendous love and affinity for seniors through her. I enjoy knowing that I am helping others and working to make their lives a happier place. I love to make people feel that they are special & unique, safe & truly cared about. I LOVE to hear the stories of the lives I have touched as well.It's like a journey through time. I am proud for the years I have given and to many peoples lives I have touched....I LOVE also to make people laugh & smile. I wish I could write down all of the places where I have been...but unfortunately, this site did recognize many of the city names. I also have a degree in writing Children's Literature..and attended culinary college & worked as a sous chef briefly. I also have a television acting degree and much community theatre experience. I have personal references as well of people who's family members I have cared for.
