About sandra

I really enjoyed being a care giver previously to 2 other ladies and my mother. I enjoy the wisdom and conversations they have to offer. I am very friendly and a great listener and conversationalist. I have been to many Parkinson's meetings with one of my ladies but she passed away sadly. It was heart breaking. I do know the many phases of Parkinsons and Dementia, and also am very patient. I am very good at making the person talk lots about their interesting pasts. I raised 3 beautiful wonderful children so patience is second nature to me. My father is still alive and 91 and I have seen very close up what its like to go through the later years of life. I think care giving is very rewarding and under estimated. The elderly deserve to be heard and seen and given the best attention at the end of their journey on this earth.

I run a successful vacation rental business but have plenty of time to fill in the time. I have taken care of elderly women before and really enjoyed it. I also took care of my mom who unfortunately passed last year of complications of Alzheimers. Would love to be able to work in this field again as it gave me great satisfaction.

Audrey lived in Boston but has a home in Lauderdale. I took care of her while family was in Boston. She also had nurses take shifts as she needed legs wrapped and stay over nights. She is now 97 and is unable to come down due to her age. We went out, stayed in , conversations, outings, drives etc...Made her lunches and some dinners if needed as other nurses we also cooking. I also was in charge of the scheduling and delegation of her nurses schedules.

I chose to be a caregiver because of my experience looking after my parents who have suffered heart attacks and strokes. I have also worked multiple careers primarily based on providing care and comfort to others. At the age of 34 I spent 5 years as a nanny to 3 different families. I was required to drive the children to and from school, make them breakfast and dinner, and provide overall care until their parents returned home. I then spent 10 years as an American Airlines flight attendant. My tasks included ensuring the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of each passenger. This would be done through multiple check ups, and constantly asking the passengers if they wanted anything, like food or beverages. My compassion for people has lead me to choosing a career in care giving. I genuinely love people and life and look on the bright side of things. I am honest and reliable and look forward to becoming great at my job. I intend to continually learn and grow.
