About Linda

I am a compassionate and loving person always looking for ways to help others. I would say that my best characteristics are that I am patient, kind, organized, dependable and a good communicator. I became a caregiver a little over 2 years ago when it became apparent that my parent needed my help. It was such a a gratifying and wonderful journey and a time that I would not give up for anything in the world. I learned so much about caregiving in those 2 plus years. I feel proud that I was able to help my parent to keep their independence and remain at home. I am also proud that I learned to be extremely resourceful and flexible during this learning process. I would like to continue this journey by helping other families to keep there loved ones as independent as possible and offer the best companionship and care as if they were my own family member. Thank you for your consideration!

I'm a compassionate and patient kind of person. I'm a single dad to a 11-year old daughter after taking care of my wife who died of cancer for 3 years. My mantra in life is to treat other people the way I wanted to be treated. My daughter is always saying that I'm too nice. People who would meet me and my daughter for the first time are saying that I'm raising my daughter as kind and polite as I am. I'm eager to learn new knowledge and open to suggestions. I would rather ask questions than pretend to know everything and fall short of the expectations. I always put myself in my patients'shoes to understand them better. It is not them but it's the illness that is making them not to be themselves at the moment. It feels great to be appreciated by the patient and their family for what i've done to lighten the everyday pain in their lives. I'm proud with what I do, and I find other ways to do my best by adding value to the career I've chosen to do.
