About Linnea

Hello Folks :) I am a life long caregiver, I guess you could say. I have worked in many different capacities, long-term care, acute care facilities, and mental health rehabilitation. I am available for any adult who needs care including dependent adults. I have had, and have passed, fingerprinting with the state of CA and the federal govt. I love to work with seniors and their families. With an open personality, I make friends easily and am professional in my conduct. My two kids are 21 and 26. My daughter, Virginia, graduated last year with her BA in Counseling/Theology. My son Chris, while not in school, is an avid musician who taught himself to play guitar. We have 3 cats and I would love to meet your animals as well. I am proactive about the pets, and make sure they are cared for. This is not a priority for all caregivers who must be reminded to feed/water, etc. the animals. Not me! I am very well read, especially history and can converse on many subjects with you or your loved one. If I sound like a fit and you would like to meet me, please call. My availability schedule is not ground in stone and can be revised. Hope to talk to you soon :)

I started out caregiving when I took care of my grandmother and that was in 1986, she had pancreatic cancer she was such a trooper. To make my patients feel comfortable is number one whether a smile or running errands, doctors appointments, and always make them feel secure and respected In their life. I love to make them feel comfortable. My personal achievement is to make them happy and comfortable, to be that ear and listen to their stories. I feel that companionship is very important! I am a caring person and I also speak Spanish, Family oriented.
