About LINDA

The main reason I became a CNA to help my grandmother. Being raised by my grandmother, I want to do anything I could to help her as she has done for me until her passing. Since her death in 1977, I use my skills and experience helping other seniors. What I enjoy most about caring for seniors is knowing I have made a different in their lives. When I provide care to my clients, I'm providing care to myself, a very good friend, my grandmother, my mother, my grand father, because my clients are a part of my family. My greatest achievement in caring for my clients is when I can give them something that the doctor or medication cannot give and that's a sense that life doesn't have to be over. For example I have bought home clients from the hospital who was given two weeks to live, after caring for them they out live the two weeks by months and one lived almost a year longer than what the doctor had given. She was able to travel twice to her home state (from California to Ohio), driving her car, and so much more that she was told she couldn't do. I have worked for agencies but prefer to work with private clients to give the care that is needed that agencies charge extra for. I am reliable, dependable, CPR certified, but more important I am capable of doing

I became a caregivers when my grandmother became ill. Seeing progress, seeing faces light up when I walk in thee room, listening to past stories, their past, being able to help keep clients in there home and as much as possible independent. When you meet a client who just wants to give up and that perfect fit cna-comes along and gives that client hope and purpose to keep going. About me: I'm patient, kind and I think first before I react. I away put thee shoe or my foot first to see how it could affect thee other person before anything. I'm a good listener and follow directions as asked or written and I give a 120 percent or more to thee care of my job..

I'm a loving and caring person. Looking forward to being of service to my elders in need of help on a daily basis. Help with light house keeping, running errands to stores, pharmacies or doctor appts, etc. I love to do puzzles, gardening and board games. I'm also a great cook :) I look forward to being of service to you and your family. See you soon. Before I go mileage to and from the residence is included in my hour. Errands will require additional mileage and day of work.
