About Sandra

I am a Christian who loves people and will treat your loved one with dignity and respect. My main expertise is with diabetics and the complications of the disease. I am a breast cancer survivor, and have been cancer free for 8 years now. I have done extensive study and helped with dietary needs as i have had gastric bypass myself and have worked with my husband. He was able to loose 40 lbs before he died. I do have night blindness and cannot drive after dark. I am highly allergic to cat dander and cannot stay in a room where there is a cat more than about a hour. Dogs are ok. I am highly allergic to cigarette smoke.

Experience & Education

Caregiver

Dec 2021 - Jun 2022
Retired & Senior Volunteer
I retired in december 2021 to care for my disabled husband full time. He passed away on June 4,2022. I found i really loved caring for him and want to spread that love to the seniors and disabled in my community. He had diabetes, heart disease, copd, sleep apnea, was legally blind and had mobility issues due to neuropathy. He was a big man, weighing over 300 lbs, but was able to get himself up with assistance. So i never had to transfer him, I wouldn't have been able to. I could handle a small woman if necessary. My husband's neuropathy also effected his hands, so i also helped him with bathing and bathroom needs. Toward the end i also helped with feeding him when necessary. I did not get a salary for this. I was his caregiver for about 7 years, while working from home for the last 2 years
