About Linda

When I first graduated highschool I was a certified Nurses Aid, as they called us back in those days, 1976. I worked in a skilled care county nursing home as a nurses aid for about 3 years. It was a very rewarding job for a person with compassion. I also spent a year working as a nurses aid at a retirement community. I love the bond that is created with the clients. A little thing like fix hair or paint their fingernails, makes their day. I retired from USPS after 20+ yrs and moved to FL, I recently became employed by a company as a caregiver part time.
