Home Health Care Caregivers in Broome County - 49 caregivers found

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is the experience I have. I have 5 years experience working for an agency and independently. I have significant experience with hospice care, dementia, Alzheimers , Parkinson's, COPD, cancers, companion care and the general everyday care of those that can't do things for themselves anymore like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and showers. I always keep medical books in the homes of my clients/patients. On every shift I always take blood pressure , temperature and oxygen so that Vitals can be monitored regularly for any changes. The medical books will keep logs of daily living such as any Dr appointments, mood changes, medications, vitals, daily diet and activities. It's important to catch/detect any change in health. Communication is big with me on keeping everyone on the same page so that the best care can be given at all times. I'm a registered health care aid, . CPR/First Aide certified. I became a health care aide because I believe our loved ones get better care at home from one on one care opposed to a nursing home.

My name is Sandie and I first started caregiving with my grandmother. I found that I like to help people complete every day tasks and be able to feel independent. I have some medical training in my background as I became a licensed phlebotomist in 2012. I am also a mom to 4 kids, aged 11 through 15, which means I am always taking care of someone. Helping my children to become respectable and responsible people is something I take pride in. It can be challenging at times but I'm always up for a challenge. I work at a nursing home on weekends. I mostly help out in the kitchen but I do like to be able to see residents and help make their day a little better in any way I can. I love to clean and do housework, which is something I learned from my grandmother. I am a good companion for most as I am a good listener and have a wide array of interests.
