About Saundra

I am a caregiver now because I enjoy taking care of the elder. They need someone that is caring and compassionate that is willing to help them. I try to bring a little joy each day to them because they need to know that someone cares and love them. I have worked with Alzheimer's patients and it is very rewarding. These are people that for no fault of their own has been stricken with this disease and each day lose a little bit of themselves. They need someone to be there for them and understands what's happening to them and is willing to be patient with them.
