About Sandra

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! My name is Sandy and I would love the opportunity to discuss how I could provide help in caring for you and your family member. We recently moved to Kelseyville, CA as my husband accepted a Primary Care position at Sutter Lakeside Family Medicine Center. While living in NY I worked for a lovely family. I helped care for their home, yard, pool, pets, ran errands and provided care for a family member with Alzheimer's among a variety of other responsibilities. We also provided them with house/pet sitting while they were out of NY. Previous to moving to Upstate New York in August 2009, I had the opportunity to work at a lovely assisted living home in Moorhead, MN as their lead caregiver. While this position did include a lot of administrative duties, I also attended to the resident s activities of daily living such as bathing, cleaning, cooking and mediation dispensing. I left this position as we moved out of MN for my husband s work. I was fortunate enough to have found an amazing family needing care for their loved one upon moving to the Syracuse, NY area. I cared for their loved one from August 2009 until November 2012 when he passed away. In this position, I assisted the client with activities of daily living, which included bathing, personal cares, changing of briefs as needed, meal preparation; dispense medication, vitals and household responsibilities. I helped to foster client's adaption to new situations and experiences with the objective of enhancing quality of life. I communicated client's health condition to family, physicians, and nurses. I also provided other tasks as needed and requested by the family. Should you be interested in hiring me, I could provide you with the family's contact information for a reference. I have experience caring for people with a wide range of needs and many different diagnosis including MS, Parkinson's disease, brain injuries, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, quadriplegic's, those confined to their bed, and many more. I hold a current certification in First Aid and CPR. I am currently enjoying getting settled into our new home and lovely area. However, I truly miss assisting people and helping them to stay in their home. Helping your family member would be a wonderful and positive experience for us all. I'd love the opportunity to speak with you more regarding your needs. Thank you for your consideration.

Sandra took care of my wife who has Alzheimer,s during last year .She was reliable,compassionate,trustworthy and kind. She was a great housekeeper and also took time to visit with my wife so she did not feel alone. I would certainly recommend her for care-giving .
