About Virginia

I became a care giver because I love to help others. Knowing that I'm making someone else's life easier makes me happy. If a patient has health issues I like to do some research on it so that I'm informed and prepared to help them the best way possible. I'm a passionate and hard worker. I'm also a fast learner and I like to keep in contact with the patients family to keep updates with health issues. I have over 5 years experience and I speak both English and Spanish. I like to keep the patients best interest in mind so that they are happy.

I became interested in the healthcare field while serving as a missionary in Guatemala where I worked with poor people living in the mountains, garbage dumps, and street children hooked on glue. Many times after serving I would come home crying because of the plight of the people I serve but I love reaching out to help others and served for four years. Here in New York City at one time I also worked with homeless people living in shelters and in the parks. I have worked in nursing homes in Florida and in homecare in New York City. I love being a caregiver, impacting humanity in a positive way as I help to improve and maintain health. Each and every individual that I serve is important to me and I treat him/her with respect, and dignity. I am a hard worker, patient, kind hearted, honest, and reliable. I attended college and the knowledge and skills I received in school have equipped me with the means to better care for clients. I have cared for clients on ventilator, G-tube feeding, trache, and foley catheter. I have assisted with meal preparation, laundry, and housekeep. I do not drive, I don't drink or use drugs. I am a woman of integrity with a heart of gold. It is my hope that I can be of help to you and wait for your response. If further information is needed or an interview, please contact me at CareLinx. Thanks and all the best to you and love-ones! Denise Morgan

I have an innate sense of selflessness and empathy is embedded in my personality and I am good listener.I am a compassionate, honesty, reliable person that care about people. I have been working in the personal care profession for several years. I decided to become a caregiver because I enjoy providing care to people of different ages. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I am helping someone and this job enables me to make a difference in the daily lives of my clients. My client misplaced her money I helped her to find it and put it in a secure place, she was concern that she would forget where she put her money. She speaks five languages, so I told her choose one of the language and write it down on a piece of paper and put on the refrigerator. She was very grateful that I helped her to solve her problem and I am very proud that I was able to help her.
