About Linda

About me: I have a very upbeat, positive happy personality. When I work my main goal is always to please my employer or patient. I feel my job is to satisfy a patients needs and wants, which is what I always aim to do. I am very detailed orientated, when i do anything I strive to perfection, which I typically achieve. I care about helping people which brought me into the dental hygiene field, which I no longer do. I loved the work, the human interaction, conversation and educating my patients. Doing caregiving gives me an opportunity, once again, to do what I love. I get great enjoyment working with people, it fills me with joy if I can make a person happy and comfortable. About my education: my degree in dental hygiene included every core course a nurse has to take for their degree...the only difference is/was the clinical part (treating patients in a hospital setting) and specialty classes. We do our clinical in a dental setting and dental specialty classes.

Hello, Although I have a degree/career in the operating room assisting surgeons with surgeries..........I have found my passion in making a tremendous difference in the quality & care of one's life by caregiving and nursing career. My grandparents played a tremendous role in my life (whom I also cared for at the end of their long lives) and I have always been very comfortable & fond of elderly, and geriatric people. I have found it to be an absolute joyful and rewarding experience to be a caregiver & nurse. We are called to take good care of the Widowed & Orphaned. My passion and love for them are evident. I am healthy, strong, vaccinated, devoted, honest, compassionate, dependable, caring, and extremely patient. Very detail oriented and trustworthy. I enjoy caring for someone as well as doing activities together. I enjoy connecting and listening to amazing stories of loved ones and past history. It is very important for me to stay engaged with the individual and showing them that they matter. It is very crucial to care for someone by treating them with the utmost dignity and respect. if possible, it is important to keep the person socially connected and take out in the community. (if he/she desires) Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to caring for you or your loved one. *Member of Surgical Technologists Association *CPR/BLS Certification *Surgical Tech *Medical Assistant *Caregiver *Healthcare volunteer *CNA *Nursing student *Voluneer with Minuteies at Church *Volunteer at Non Profit Organization
