About Linda

I became a caregiver to help people and give back. I am caring, patient, kind and respectful person. I have been in the medical profession for 17 yrs and have been taking care of seniors most of that time especially the past 8 yrs. I was my mother's primary caregiver she had multiple health issues along with advanced Alzhiemers Disease. I would love to help you maintain your dignity weather it's helping with laundry, making a meal, helping you bath or running an errand, even helping with your pet. I enjoy making people smile and brighten your day. Please contact me with confidence. I am CPR certified, I was a CNA, my certification has expired, but I do follow the guide lines of the IDPH. Look forward to hearing from you. The hourly rate is negotiable. Spanish Speaking.
