Add to FavoritesAbout Linda
In 1990 I was a HHA in the Worcester area and enjoyed the 1 on 1 work experience, as well as a feeling of independence. I am a people person and also like the companionship aspect of being a personal caregiver. I was a personal caregiver to my Aunt when she had back to back surgeries and performed multiple tasks for her including personal hygiene, housework, cooking and ran errands. I was always proud of seeing my patient comfortable, satisfied and happy. The majority of my nursing career (16+ years) has been in the geriatric field, and I always felt compelled to give each of my patients more 1 on 1, but there was never enough time allotted. That is why I want to get into personal care, so as to spend time with my patient and to do all tasks necessary (personal and professional) in a timely manner and to make a positive impact on their lives.
