About Linda

Hi! I'm Linda Michelle Derbonne - a 55 year-old single woman. I've been in the caregiving industry for many years. I have one child. His name is Christian and he is 18 years old. He is in college in Monterey California. I'm very proud of him! I am currently an IHSS worker for the county of Santa Cruz (25 hrs per week) & Santa Clara (14 hours per week) My background has been checked and cleared by the state of California. I am a live-in caregiver. In addition to that I care for my mother in Santa Clara County 14 hours a week and work 4 hours a week in a Convalescent Hospital. I'm a very happy and patient person and I love being a caregiver. My live-in client has become verbally and physically abusive towards me and other members of her family. I am looking to replace that position.

Having worked in various health care professions, I find it a passion of mine to work with our elderly senior populations. I have both professional and personal experience working with loved ones who may be suffering from Diabetes, requiring assistance with meal preparations, running errands, and providing positive companionship with someone who suffers from Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease. I am proud to say that I am an honorable person who truly cares about anyone they work with, and I will always treat all individuals I provide care for as if they are my own family.

Nursing is a calling for me. Making sure that people receive the best possible care I am able to provide is my most important goal. Safety first always, compassion, dignity, privacy, respect and hope are all important attribute's that I find essential to good nursing care. It is a meaningful gratifying experience to know that I can add to someone's life and possibility bring goodness when health issues can be a challenge and so often depressing. Good nursing requires being completely present while in someone's home or in a facility. My standards are no cell phones while at work, no clock watching, and I always address people with respect by using MR.or Mrs. (last name) until I am encouraged otherwise. Using Mama or Papa and other terms of endearment are not appropriate for me personally in professional healthcare. I use old fashion "yes Mam, yes Sir, no Mam, no Sir. and in an audible understandable language. CNA #00648980
