About Linda

Caregiving is a field that is always changing but stays put in the rudimentary understanding of what it means to help people. Helping people means more than putting a bandage on the wound and sending the client on their way. Being a caregiver means really listening to your client, empathizing with them, and helping them to the best of your abilities. I am someone who can offer than comfort while also providing professional medical care. I know that when I'm your caregiver I will thrive because I truly care about the people I work for. If I can do something meaningful that touches their lives forever, that would be the true purpose of caregiving. Not everyone gets the opportunity to be around people in a very vulnerable time in their lives, and Caregiving provides that privilege. I am someone who is empathetic, patient, and understanding. I love talking and accompanying people to make them feel comfortable. I am very energetic, and truly love getting to know who I am working. Caregiving is more than a job, it is a meaningful connection I hope to solidify.

My primary concern as a caregiver is to make sure that my client is able to function at the best of their ability and to make sure that they are having the highest quality of life that they are able to have. I am not only there for my client but I am also there for the family (such as: to let them go grocery shopping, are just to be another set of ears at doctor appointments or for the family. After a few days with the client and the family I begin to consider them family. I have a great amount of nurturing and empathy, some say I care to much but I give 150% to my clients and families. I enjoy order and dispensing medication, relating to my clients, enjoy the pass and working on family history. I have no parents or grandparents so my clients kind of fill these roles. I have been a first responder, EMT, CPR Instructor, nurse's aide, and medication aide. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having a D.N.S. that I work with for a long time trust me to teach new nurse's the medication routine and to be a charge nurse. As a personal care giver the highest praise I can be given is for my client to tell me I must be an angel and that they love me.
