About Sandra

Experience: 6 yrs

I have been providing assistance to the elderly and their families for several years, after caring for my own mother for several years before her passing. I understand both the needs of the elder as well as the struggles of the family caring for them. My strength for this job lies in my compassion for the elderly. I truly enjoy older people. I never tire of their (sometimes often repeated) life stories. I have experience with dementia/Alzheimer's, as well as medical conditions. I am experienced at medication prompting and administration, as well as bathing, dressing, meal prep and feeding if necessary. My professional background is in various forms of health care, ranging from OR technician, EMT, LASIK technician, as well as various doctors' offices. I thank you for considering me to care for your loved one.

Sandy was the answer to our prayers. My parents both have dementia and have been very resistant to help — they fired their last four caregivers. Sandy knew just how to handle my very stubborn parents - with patience, a great sense of humor, firmness and the utmost kindness. She was a wonderful caregiver and companion to my mother. She totally took charge of their household, schedule, grocery shopping, and transportation. It was such a relief to have Sandy in our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend her for elder care.
