About Sandra

I have been a caregiver to my 92 year old mother, as well as others and currently live in a independent senior living apartment complex, even though I am not old enough to be here. As a college graduate in Special Education, I am a nurturer by nature and am compassionate, very patient and a great listener. I have taken pre-nursing classes and am a certified massage therapist. Being a massage therapist also brings an added touch to my abilities to bring comfort and care to my clients. I love people and brightening up their day. This is a very rewarding opportunity to be of service. I also have a dog, if a client is interested, who is very well behaved and loving. I think my biggest achievement is a tie between raising 3 amazing daughters as a single parent and going off to China to live for a year. It was a wonderful experience!

I became a caregiver because I love to serve and help the needy. Before I started a job as a caregiver, I volunteered at the Pre-Ops of Sinai hospital in Baltimore forsix (6) hours, 3 days a week.I care about people, I am a very loving and caring person, full of empathy and I am learning so much in this chosen career from my clients. I am full of joy, I love to sing, read them poems and sometimes we dance together. I love to dress them up. We play cards sometime and some of them watch their favorite game show on T.V and cooking is also a delight to me. I am a great companion on my one -one cases because I love to be fulfilled at work too.
