Meet Sam
- Speaks English and Spanish
- Comfortable with pets
I am a young student in the Amherst area with excellent qualifications and experience in caregiving. I am CPR and First-Aid certified, highly experienced with children/adults with disabilities, and love working with kids. I currently work full-time at a nursing home specializing in ABI (acquired brain injuries). I work the night shift, 11pm-9am Sunday-Wednesday. I am available to work at any other time. I have experience as a counselor at a camp for children and adults with disabilities. In the past, I worked as a MOS (medical office specialist) at a pain management clinic, therefore I have experience with secretarial duties. I have assisted in classrooms at Incarnate Word Academy Montessori School, and am most experienced with toddlers. I also have had a great number of babysitting jobs in the past. I have almost 5 years of caregiving experience, and I absolutely love it!
