About Linda

I have been a caregiver for about 10-13 years. I am compassionate and dependable person. I have always had apathy towards my clients. Allowing them to retain their dignity and giving them respect. I became a caregiver because I enjoy taking care of the elderly. I enjoy during work that makes a difference in someone life. What i have enjoy the most about being a caregiver is assisting the elderly in making their day as less stressful as possible. Rather that be shopping, transportation, housekeeping, observation care, or assistance care for daily living. Being a caregiver comes with its ups and down . And when you have a moment when a client shows appreciation because you did something for them that was difficult and they are normal mean towards you. Thats a personal achievement for me.

Hello, my name is Melba! My experience with caregiving started the year of 2010. I started caring seniors to make a difference in their lives. For people with high levels of care needed, my support in invaluable. Treating them with attentive, proper, and respectful care is a significant role to ensure they retain their dignity and independence during the latter stages of life. For me, helping seniors and others is a great accomplishment and feels highly rewarding, knowing that I could turn a unbearable day into a great one. Caregiving taught me knowledge from listening to experiences and stories one might gladly share. Memories are priceless and can give a wonderful insight and transport you to a time from a person's different perspective. To me, having that kind of opportunity gives life more meaning. As we can connect with an individual in such a way, we also learn to appreciate and be more empathetic towards others. And to be an encouraging helping hand when someone needs it the most!

I am very passionate when it comes to taking care of others. Ever since I was a teenager, I knew in my heart that helping those in need was my calling. I started nursing school in college and then went straight to work at hospitals, nursing homes, and at the comfort of people's homes. I am an advocate for the Alzheimer's Association, and volunteer as a caregiver support group facilitator. I have two children who are growing too fast, and a mother who is a cancer survivor who I took care of. Also, I am a lover of animals and have no problems taking care of them as well.
