I am 21 years old. I have been a HHA for 5 years. I absolutely love the work field I chose as my career. I am a very smart, intelligent and reliable young lady. I am very respectful of everyone and everything around me.

I enjoy being a caregiver for many reasons but most importantly being around many different types of people you get to learn a lot. I love to hear story's from the family or person I'm caring for . I'm very hands on and love to help . I understand that everyday is different and everyone is different the care is never the same. In order to be a great caregiver you have to love what you do . I don't mind feeding, or helping with showers or making meals . I'm good at emotional support, I don't know everything but my heart is pure and looking forward to my next task

I think all of that makes me a wonderful caregiver. What attracted me to being a caregiver was wanting to take care of an love these people like I would want someone to take care of my family members,be supportive,loving,helpful and nurturing to them the best I can.

They both turned out to be amazing young successful men who now have their own families. Knowing I set them values in them and that I raised them to be the best husbands an fathers an citizens,that makes me beyond proud !

Hello my name is Lynda Evans First I want to offer my condolences for your loved one. I understand completely as I cared exclusively for my father for 5 years with congestive heart failure, diabetes, and strokes. I don't just do care giving I am a born Caregiver. Everybody deserves respect and compassion when facing life's challenging obstacles. I also have had medical challenges I have had to overcome and understand how important it is to be positive and stress free and not to focus on what you can't do but accentuate what you can. My clients are very happy with me and would personally ask for me to come take care of them. I even had one gentleman who was very shy about bed bath cracking up. I love and care for each individual as my own, and want them to feel the best they can in a comfortable atmosphere. I cared for a lady who started having brain surgery at 20 and she was in her 70's when I cared for her. She also was difficult to understand but with patients I learned to communicate with her very well. I have cared for Alzheimer, Stroke, Cancer, Bed and Wheel Chair bound, and much more...... ALSO: I am very organized, great on cleaning, laundry and cooking: GOOD FOOD not junk. I also do not smoke, or take any medications. I have a HHA CERTIFICATE and CNA license, Alzheimer/dementia along with HIV/AIDS certificate. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I have impeccable references if you so choose was unable to list them all on this site I may be a little higher but guarantee I am worth all of that and more and my past employers will agree with this Lynda Evans
