About Samantha

Hello! My name is Sam. I would consider myself to be an easy going yet big personality person who knows when there's a time to be silly and a time to be professional. I have been caregiving since 2016. I worked for a facility during those years, caring up to 50 people a day. I was both a PCA and a Med Tech during that time, working closely with hospice nurses, regional nurses, families, and medical providers. I have my nurse delegation core and diabetes certifications so I can legally perform tasks as delegated by an RN. I would say that my most proud achievement in my time as a caregiver was working through the pandemic. Working upwards of 100 hours a week due to low staffing, every day was a challenge, and the small team that we did have remaining was such a strong bond. Personally, I learned a lot about people, health care and catastrophe in that time. Currently, I work with a private agency, and am looking to use CareLinx as another part time prospect. My love and compassion for people stems from the core of my heart, being a mother. I make sure job duties are fulfilled to the fullest, keep organized and tidy and am compassionate with all of my clients. I would love to meet with you and talk about your care needs.
