About Linda

I found that being a Caregiver is something that I loved to do after caring for my Dad when he became terminally ill with Lung Cancer. I cared for my Mom 5 years later when she was also diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I have taken care of everything and everybody for my entire life, this job lets me continue to learn about geriatric care and put it to practice. I am most proud about learning time management as well as dealing with multiple stages of Dementia/Alzheimer's at the same time (presently caring for 12 residents at a Senior Living facility. I hold a BA in English/Psychology.

    What makes me a great caregiver is that I have faith in helping others and I want to be helpful in humanity. I want to be a caregiver because when my mom was sick I always helped her and when she passed away I felt like I had a responisablity to help other sick people in the same way. I enjoy being a caregiver because at work I spend all my time doing something good that God appreciates. One personal achievement that I have is that I stuck with one of my patients who wasn't able to walk until she got better and started walking.
