Linden Grove

Fulfillment of helping others grants one of the highest levels of appreciation. I enjoy my job when I am caring for other people. I have had employment in other fields and none make me feel as complete as having someone who needs you, someone who counts on you for anything from complete care to a task as simple as opening a jar. Any way I am able to help gives me satisfaction. I have been through spinal cord surgery, physical therapy, the feeling of helplessness, re-learning tasks, among other things. I have overcome this in all aspects. I use the experiences I encountered in that to better understand the patients I care for. I have been in their position in some instances and I show empathy for all people who have to surrender even a small amount of their independence. I love learning about the lives of my patients as well. I appreciate any wisdom they have to offer me in molding my character to be the best person I can be. I am interested in furthering my education and becoming a male nurse.

1) I became a caregiver because I have a passion for helping people and adding a little more peace and happiness to their lives. I have been a caregiver for almost 4 years now and have a wide variety of experience. 2) I enjoy interacting with many types of people. I love getting to know people and talking to them. I have always had a passion for helping people and seeing the people I care for smile really makes my day. 3) I am proud of the fact that I attained my CNA license at the age of 16. I am proud that I was able to work on the Alzheimer and Dementia ward at my local nursing home and I am proud of the care that I gave these residents. 4) I am a people person. I am very energetic and I love to get to know people. I am always willing to go above and beyond for the people that I care for.
