About Malinda

I fell in love with caregiving back in high school when I took an elective class helping students with disabilities. In my early 20's I became a CNA and have always loved helping others every chance I get. I have worked in several different types of caregiver settings but eventually decided to leave the field because I was saddened and frustrated when I felt like my concerns about patient rights were constantly ignored by management. I decided I no longer wanted to work in places where I wasn't able to speak directly to the patient's family and be their voice. I prefer to have a more personal and family-like relationship with patients rather than a business relationship.

I try to aim high with making clients and family comfortable being around. I love laughing and talking. I became a caregiver because I love God's people and serving others. I enjoy my clients being happy with me and the care I give. And for me to see them comfortable around me. The personal achievement I am proud of is when I had the honor and privilege to take care of some of Houston's finest clients. And I was able to be there until the end of their life stage. God has truly been good to me . I have served as an Caregiver for 25yrs. And I love every minute of it.
