About Linda

I became an LPN because of my love of people. My want to help those in need of care was very passionate. After nursing with younger women, I wanted to go back to geriatrics, which I did as a nursing assistant while in nursing school. There is a lot to learn from the elderly. My own mother died of Alzheimer's and this became a passion of mine. I hope I can continue to do this on a part time basis.

What attracted me to be a caregiver is wanting to be an assistant to those who can no longer assisted themselves with daily living activities. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the client and just being able to be there to give a helping hand . My personal achievements that I'm proud of is getting my job done each and everyday to the best of my ability.

As a caregiver I am compassionate and caring. I decided to become a caregiver after helping care for my grandfather during his end of life. Through my 15+years of being a caregiver I understand what is means for the clients to have the care they deserve, while maintaining their dignity. I pride myself on being a team player and can adapt easily to changes. Attention to detail is important to me as well. What has made me the proudest, is the relationships I have established with my clients and their families.
