About Lindsey

I love spending time with elderly people. Listening to them talk about how things use to be and how they grow up is my favorite. I'm very aware of how anyone with Alzheimer's and dementia will change their mood very quickly & they can be combative & aggressive but then the next minute they can be very sweet & back to their self. Patience is something someone MUST HAVE working in this kind of environment!!! My mother has done this job since I was 4 I'm now 23 & she just recently quit doing it so I've always been around this kind of work growing up. Once I got out of school she got me my very first job at Haven house as a resident aid & I loved it. I always told my mom that this is what I wanted to do & I would love to continue doing it. A personal achievement that Iam proud of is how much I've grown up. Being grown is not easy but as long as you work hard & do your best everything with be fine. I definitely have to push myself harder when working because I have kids and they are everything to me. They make me wanna do better. I honestly think without them here I wouldn't have everything I do now.

$17.00/hour · Ocala, FL
I am a compassionate, dependable, loving, energetic, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ and have an instilled desire to help others. My ability to help those in need is a calling that I have discovered for my life over the past 11 years, beginning in the funeral industry. Connecting with and comforting others in one of the worst times of their lives is what started my journey to becoming a caregiver. Loving on others and making a difference in their quality of life is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a helper. I was named caregiver of the year the first year I worked for an agency.
