About Samm

Hi! My name is Samm (obviously), I am 24 years old and I'm here to tell ya why we're going to be good friends. I am very passionate, empathetic and detail oriented. While I'm very efficient, I am also very easy going and extremely adaptable. You just tell me what you need/want, and we will find a way to safely and promptly make it happen. My parents adopted me when they were 55. So my siblings were all grown up and I was growing up with nieces and nephews that were older than me, and lots that were a lot younger than me (we have a very large family). I was always big sister/ babysitter to all the youngins since I was old enough to be left unsupervised, and with my parents adopting me at such a late age, I have been taking care of them on and off as needed, for as long as I can remember. My dad recently passed away but I was FULLY taking care of him and my mother as he battled stage 4 cancer for the second time in his life. There were times when he was strong and felt good and taking care of him just meant being his daughter and his friend, and times when he was so sick he could hardly move his head and I was kind of his body for him. My mom has Parkinsons and has been diagnosed for about 8 years, she also has times where taking care of her only consists of buying groceries, taking her shopping or on adventures out of the house, etc, and there are times when it is completely taking over her medication, making her special foods because shes shaking so bad that her body has a hard time swallowing, getting her in and out of bed, chairs, the shower, etc. I can be your right hand man and handle pretty much everything for you and be sort of a personal assistant and help with appointments, medications, pretty much anything, or I can just be someone that comes to hang out and be your friend.

I continued to do caregiving because of my grandfather o took care of for 3 year's back in 2010. Once he passed away i just felt i could do more by helping others that need help or just need someone to talk to. I am proud that i have made a difference in other people's lives.

Hello, I'm Nicole and I was raised In Germany and Denmark before moving to the USA with my mom in ...well a long time ago. Growing up in a diverse social service worker household, where my Summers and all my school breaks were spent in camps and day cares with kids/adults with special needs, I never considered a career in anything BUT taking care of others. I remember my Great grandma going through the stages of Alzheimers and not fully understanding this, but feeling that she needed lots of love. While so many people are unhappy about their employment I feel blessed to have mine. I'm happy to say that I love doing what I do and I get to do it 24/7It is not a job to me it is my life, my history and my future. I am a highly energetic woman and I love to bring joy to others. At the same time, I'm patient and compassionate and I respect that everyone's situation is unique and needs to be treated as such. I spent nearly 20 years in case management and I came to realize how much I missed Direct Care, especially after taking care of my daughter. One of my favorite sayings is " It is an honor to take care of the ones that once took care of us' I have many many years of experience in a very diverse Social Service background and I don't shy away from any responsibilities. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope you find the best match for your family member, yourself or your ward. It could be me.....
