About Linda

I became a caregiver after I retired from banking. I found it a position where I do things for elderly people that need help, things that I do for myself. I love being a caregiver / companion since I love being a friend, helping, and being sure they do not feel alone. I love hearing about all of their experiences and families, One client that I have did not want to decorate for the Christmas holidays since she was alone, we went shopping and bought a new tree and all the decorations and went to her home and I decorated her home - and took it all down after the holidays - she was so happy and said it was the best Christmas that she had in years. I am a Christian and I am involved with church activities. I once was a leader for a senior ministry at a former church that I attended. I plan bus trips each year for my church to Pa to see a show at Sight & Sound - we have a lot of seniors that come on the trip even though it is open to everyone. I love photography, reading and love pets and have taken care of cats and dogs. I try to be as friendly and caring and do not have a problem making new friends. Even though I am older and a retired banker, I am still young at heart. I also love working with children, I volunteer at church for Vacation Bible School, work in the nursery when needed and have led a kids choir in the past. So I work with both children and seniors.

Ive always felt connected to people. I have always had a genuine love and concern for them. I enjoy so very much taking care of those who are in need. I love my job, and feel it is rewarding because, when you take care of others, and truly love what you do for them, it shows, and others see that. This has been a huge stepping stone in my life, and I know and feel with all my heart, that I am on the path I have been created for. I have a passion in life, for taking care of other people.

I am a excellent caregiver with 5 years experience. I'm reliable, hard working and efficient. When my mother was sick, back in 2000, I helped her out a lot by doing things for her when it was called for, I was also working also at the time.
