About Linda

I believe love is our greatest superpower and we all should use it every minute of every day. Working in the healthcare industry requires the use of this power. If the caregiver is positive, compassionate, and caring, the patient usually recovers faster and exhibits the same upbeat behavior which heals the mind. Since childhood, I have always made people smile. Quick to help when someone is in need, it is our responsibility to "help thy neighbor." Caregiving has always been second nature to me. Being employed in this field has taught me many lessons about life and the importance of humility. I love working with all types and ages of people but my preferred are the "tougher" cases. I specialize in care for dementia, autism, ADD, ADHD, stroke, Alzheimer's, and cancer. I am detailed, or some would say OCD, about my duties, and try to make not only the patient comfortable and secure but also their family. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced, you have found her. I look forward to helping you with your care needs.
