About Linda

I am a very loving sensitive caregiver. I came back home to Michigan to care for both parents who were terminally ill and also took care of my uncle. I also have helped nursing staff through agencies and my church congregation with hospice care. I have helped special needs students throughout the school day and in their home environment. I believe that caregiving is my calling. There is a lot of personal satisfaction to helping others accomplish their goals and achieve as much personal independence as possible. I helped my uncle who had two toe amputations and several skin graphs, close a wound and walk again. Most of my clients I have cared for long term until I am no longer needed.

I was hired as a private duty aide for a client who had a history of being very difficult and as a result, caregiver turnover was high. I assisted him with bathing, toileting, hygiene, dressing, exercise, medications, meal preparation, companionship, and transportation to doctors office and outings. I was with him for 5 years until his death.
