About Candy

I am very compassionate and patient, I also always go above and beyond to make sure I am the best caregiver I can be. I have a younger brother who was born with cerebral palsy and I always took care of him without feeling like I had to, that's when I knew what I was meant to do with my life. I started working in a nursing home when I was 16 and and then switched to home health care and I have enjoyed caring for others ever since.

Helped my client get out of bed, helped with personal hygiene, bathing, fixed meals and light house keeping. Spent time with her talking, doing her nails and hair for her. Checked her blood sugar and made sure she took her medicine.

I am completely blown away by how lucky I am to have found you! I've never seen my mother respond so quickly or easily to anyone. I am breathing easier knowing you are going to be part of her care team!

Hello my name is Lynda Evans First I want to offer my condolences for your loved one. I understand completely as I cared exclusively for my father for 5 years with congestive heart failure, diabetes, and strokes. I don't just do care giving I am a born Caregiver. Everybody deserves respect and compassion when facing life's challenging obstacles. I also have had medical challenges I have had to overcome and understand how important it is to be positive and stress free and not to focus on what you can't do but accentuate what you can. My clients are very happy with me and would personally ask for me to come take care of them. I even had one gentleman who was very shy about bed bath cracking up. I love and care for each individual as my own, and want them to feel the best they can in a comfortable atmosphere. I cared for a lady who started having brain surgery at 20 and she was in her 70's when I cared for her. She also was difficult to understand but with patients I learned to communicate with her very well. I have cared for Alzheimer, Stroke, Cancer, Bed and Wheel Chair bound, and much more...... ALSO: I am very organized, great on cleaning, laundry and cooking: GOOD FOOD not junk. I also do not smoke, or take any medications. I have a HHA CERTIFICATE and CNA license, Alzheimer/dementia along with HIV/AIDS certificate. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I have impeccable references if you so choose was unable to list them all on this site I may be a little higher but guarantee I am worth all of that and more and my past employers will agree with this Lynda Evans
