Hi my name is Sam, I am twenty-four years old, originally from New York and fluently speak English and Spanish. I am patient, attentive, and loving to everyone. All of my experiences are personal. Though I did not go to school to become a caregiver, it does not take away from everything I have learned and how much I enjoy caring for the elderly, children, or individuals with medical disabilities / delays. My interest in becoming a caregiver began at age sixteen, when my great grandmother, who was 106 years old, was put on hospice. Though she had 14 children, she was very selective when it came to who could help her out of bed, change her, feed her, & bath her. I was one of the five people she let assist her. I also cared for my godmother who had M.S. until six years ago. For the past three years, I have been traveling from MD to NYC, as needed, to care for my grandmother who has stage four head and neck cancer. I took a week off to care for her post surgery, I accompany her to radiation/chemotherapy treatments, clean her open wound and much more. As a case manager today, seeing how the elderly are often neglected and cast aside, is heart breaking. Many believe the elderly no longer have anything to offer, but they couldn't be more wrong. Elders have infinite knowledge and experience to share that we can benefit from. Same as children, though I do not have children of my own yet, I have two amazing nephews, four and six, who keep me on my toes, and teach me so many wonderful new things. Being a caregiver is not just a job, it can be a learning experience & rewarding in its own way. Some proud personal achievements would have to be graduating Towson with my B. S. and buying my first car. My next goal is to of course pay off that car and then help my parents own a home of their own. P.S. The program I teach for the agency requires yearly background checks, to enter the jail, I can provide a copy as proof. Thank you for your time and consideration!
