About Lyndia

I'm a great caregiver because I really care about the elderly. I am emphatic and compassionate. I took care of my mom who suffered with Alzheimer's and I try to imagine I'm giving the client the same care as if she was my very own mother. I am an ordained minister who is expected to walk in love. I get pleasure out of knowing that the client has been given the best care possible and if I was put under a microscope there wouldn't be anything to complain about. I try to follow the golden rule 'do unto others as you would have then do unto you.' I answer to a higher calling and I know I will be held responsible if I don't give the client the best care. To hear the doctor tell the relative that the client is very well taken care of is to me a personal achievement.

Lucille Burney
Lucille Burney was my mother. She passed in 2001 for Alzheimer's. My sister and I cared for her in the home. My duties were to basically feed her, watch out for her for she had a nurse come in daily. I would sit with her, help her use the bathroom. Take her to appointments. Read to her. Put her to bed at night. During my shift I would be alert because we didn't want her confined so we had to be alert to her activities so she wouldn't hurt herself.

I am a great caregiver because I do possess the ability to maintain client's dignity, information and privacy. I love being around the elderly and help people with their needs. I enjoy building a good relationship and listern carefully to my client to enable me mature more in life. I am always proud whenever I see I have made my client feel so comfortable and happy to have me around.

I love making a different in the lives of others. After caring for my father for five years in Africa, I realized this is a profession that I'm good at and passionate about. When working with my father, I developed patience and empathy, and also have been working as a caregiver for about 5 years with a lot of experience. In the event of an emergency, I would recall the training I have learned and immediately follow the standard protocol and call 9-1-1 if needed. I have active CPR certification, so I feel confident performing that, If required
