About Linda

I have 7 years of experience in providing direct care for adults with disabilities. This work is a 'spin off' from social work related work I have done over the years. I enjoyed my work very much. The relationships that were developed between me and my clients were constructive and enjoyable. Over the years I have made significant contributions to communities and to populations in need of assistance. I have also learned a great deal about medication management, personal safety, fire safety, emergency procedures choking prevention and recreation opportunities at home and in the community. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Welfare. I have been working in lower stress occupations in more recent years. I garden and study wildflowers for relaxation.

    Before being certified as a CNA I took care of my grandmother before she passed away. I then took care of my late fiance while he battled cancer. I took care of my mother through two strokes , the last one putting her into a wheelchair. During this period my mother encouraged me to go for my CNA. I love helping people. I never feel like I am going to a job. My first year I received employee of quarter then employee of the year. Throughout 2019 between my regular job taking care of a quadriplegic I would take take of my sister while she battled cancer. Gave round the clock care her last days.
