About Linda

I became a caregiver because it makes me feel so good; at the end of the day when I lay my head down to sleep, I know I've done my best for someone in need............... I have made real life long friends with some families after I've long been gone as a caregiver. I enjoy the person to person aspect the most............... Recently I was able to help a stroke victim that no one thought she would be able to understand direction again. I went to the library found colorful interesting books from the children's center, also coloring books with markers and right away she started to listen to the stories and color in the book. baby steps sometimes add up............... Living in San Francisco area for the last 3+ years............... I raised 5 children in a town with 42 people, the nearest larger town had 450. I lived in Cooperstown Pa. for over 25 years. I'm good with finding a way to get things done when no one else can............... I am experienced in all areas of Care-giving............... I also have extensive experience with Dementia............... I currently have Stroke, Dementia and Alzheimer’s training, and certified in First Aid............... I have a reliable clean Honda Accord, Cell Phone with GPS, Read/Write English............... I care.!............... I am a patient person, and I handle emergencies with calmness...............

    For over 22 years I have been caring for those who find it hard to care for themselves and their loved ones. From making a home cooked meal to warm your soul, to the gratification I get from just tying your shoes. A task once simple, Is a task one day we all may loose the ability to do. That is why I am here. To help you continue and maintain a happy healthy lifestyle. Knowing I was a part of it is my greatest achievement of all... Aswell, i am a great Post Operation Procedure Companion. NPPES licensed #1245768407 Counselor/Mental Health.
