About Sandy

Experience: 5 yrs

Looking for a full-time Senior care position to make your family member feel comfortable, healthy and loved! My previous experiences with senior care are as follows: I spent many years assisting in the care of all four of grandparents, each with different health issues. I also spent 1 year caring for a Parkinson's patient. I helped with exercises/walks, cooking meals, baking, cleaning and organizing the entire home, making sure meds were taken properly, grocery store shopping, library, doctor's appointments or whatever else was needed on a daily basis. In each experience with the elderly, it was my goal to make them comfortable and able to reside in their own home! Whether it be to lend a listening ear to making sure there environment was "safe, clean and cozy". If possible I try to keep the mind and body in a healthy state, from taking walks to eating healthy and nutritional meals. Sometimes it is as simple as just "being there" for them. Being raised in a loving/hardworking farm community in the Midwest, it made me the person I am today: going out of my way to make the most of each day, from caring for a stranger, to making that person feel like a part of "my family".

I spoke to Sandy a few times over the phone since I live in NY regarding caring for my mom. I was extremely impressed with her friendliness, kind nature, and work ethic. On another phone call I asked her if she would be available to meet my mom and literally she was there in 15 minutes. My mom was just as impressed with Sandy in person as I was and raved about how friendly and and kind she is and how she was willing to do everything - take her to appointments, cook, laundry, clean, etc.. Sandy told me she would not sit still while my mom takes her afternoon naps but would keep the place clean and she loves to cook and bake. I have no doubt Sandy would have worked out well with my mom but we needed someone asap and understandably Sandy had to give adequate notice to her current employer so the timing didn't work out. Between caretakers that my mom and in-laws had, I can sense who would and wouldn't work out and I would say do not hesitate to speak and meet Sandy as I'm sure she would be an asset to any family.
