About Linda

I have been caring for seniors in their own homes for over 20 years. I have had a variety of cases with every kind of illness. I enjoy helping seniors to enjoy quality of life in the home where they have raised families or enjoyed retirement. I have had full responsibility of med management, transportation to Dr. appointments, physical therapy, grocery shopping and housekeeping. I have supplied companionship, meal planning and preparation and enjoyed sharing in the rich histories of the seniors I have been honored to serve. I believe that I am a strong advocate for seniors and passionate about dignity and quality of life.

To be a caregiver is all I've ever wanted to do, I feel like I was born to be a caregiver. And I really love to communicate with elders. I can learn more life experience from them. Also I will be happy when I have the ability to bring some comfort to the elderly, that's so wonderful to see the smile on their face.

I am personable and enjoy being a home care provider. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help others by assisting them with their activities of daily living. I enjoyed caring for many seniors over the years and learned quite a lot from them. I believe I'm a great caregiver because I have had extensive training in a skilled nursing facility as well as in many private homes. I also enjoy seeing the difference that I often make in people's lives. I became a nursing assistant back in 1982 and acquired my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license at the convalescent hospital where I worked. I then went on to work for several home care agencies and acquired my Certified Home HeaIth Aide (CHHA) license. I have worked as an independent contractor caregiver for years. I am willing to commute for full-time employment. I have great references and will be happy to submit them upon request.
