About Erlinda

I've been working as a caregiver for the elderly since 2010, both through agencies and direct hire. I had a lot of valuable experiences working with senior citizens who suffer from Alzheimer, dementia, heart problem, diverticulitis problem, diabetes, muscular degeneration, and most recently, bipolar disorder. I am adaptable and I'm always open to learn something new. In addition, I'm also trustworthy, quick learner, good attitude, able to follow the instruction and have strong work ethic. I am skilled in grooming, meal and medicine preparation, light cooking, light housekeeping, transporting patients to doctors appointment, running errands. Most importantly, I am passionate about working with senior citizens because I love helping people. It is a truly rewarding career and I have enjoyed working with each and every one of my patients.

My aging mother who suffered from early-onset Alzheimer's first opened my eyes to the challenges of caring for an aging parent. I attended seminars, took courses and got my Nursing Assistant certification to care for her. I learned a lot of patience and tactics for working with the elder population. One of the joys and, I think, one of my strengths as a caregiver is providing companionship , stability and finding fun and meaning in unlikely places.

I have been helping seniors with daily living tasks for over 12 years now and I find helping others live happy, healthy, and comfortable lives is the most fulfilling work I've ever done. My family has been caring for families since I was 5 years old. When I was 22 I began working with my mother who has a background in nursing. We provided 24hr/7days per week care for a family friend, and I have helped several other families since, averaging 2 years with every client. I find that my height and strength are valuable assets in my field, especially when transfers and assistance transfering are required. My greatest happiness comes when I'm able to help people still go out and live exciting lives as well as be able to live comfortably at home without having move into convalescent homes.
