About Linda

I have been in the medical field for almost 20 yrs, ranging from being a CNA, CMA, Lead Tech in a surgery center, so I have a caregiver in some for or another, but over the past 6 yrs I have been a full time caregiver to my 88 yr old mother and also holding down a part time job. I'm looking for a more of a one on one basis with that special client long term, bringING joy and laughter not only to my patients but to the entire family. My most gratifing, moment is in the 2 yrs it took me to get rid of my mom's decubdis, stage 4 sores on her bottom something that not even the wound nurse couldn't cure. I am CPR certified and first aid trained, I also enjoy caring for patients that have had surgeries and need that extra help once they are home. I also speak spanish, hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.

A great caregiver is one who is skilled, experienced, and possesses the human qualities of compassion, patience, caring and understanding. He or she is essentially some one who genuinely likes people and has a need to serve. I became a caregiver because I like to take care of people and truly think I do an excellent job. I like to make people happy and see their smiling faces. My most challenging and rewarding job was taking care of a lady who was bedridden for over three years before she died and needed considerably attention. I also worked cooperatively with the hospice team. I have a degree in art and bring this ability to enrich my companionship with my clients.
