About Kalinda

My work history is very diverse. I worked for the court system for many years. I was also employed by the Iowa Department of Revenue & Finance. I have worked for Iowa Child Support Recovery Unit. I have been employed as an office assistant as well as a legal assistant. I worked for a Harley Davidson dealership in sales and moved into a lead office position. I have many years experience in caregiving. I've worked for Senior Helpers as well as Home Instead Senior Care. I attended St. Ambrose University, which is a Christian based university, and graduated with honors. I love to travel, spend time with family and friends, snorkel, ride bicycles horsebackriding, and enjoy walking and listening to all genres of music. I have 5 grandchildren that I adore and spend time with. Most importantly, I love being a caregiver. I guarantee I will treat your family as I would my own. I feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day because I feel I am doing my best to make this a better world by helping others.

Growing up I always had a passion for being a person to care for people. I started as a teenager caring for babies and my passion continued to grow. I wanted to become a cna after my friend did and told me how much she loved it and it sounded like something I would love to do as well. My favorite part of being a caregiver is the satisfaction of knowing for sure everything was Done properly and I know the job was done not having to worry when I leave peoples homes. I also love the relationships that are built between caregivers and the person needing care also their families.
