About Linda

I love helping older people out they are so sweet. My first job I had was at a nursing home as a helping hand when I was a freshman in high school. I would make there beds give them juices and snacks I would fill all the ice buckets with fresh water. When I became a senior in high school they offered a CNA class which I took and passed the test. I worked at this nursing home for 9yrs Then I got married and moved to Amarillo. I got a job at Integra care hospice. It was a very sad job but I enjoyed the smile I would see when I would help them shower and make them feel special. I would polish there toe nails and hand nails fix there hair I would help the men shave. The feeling u have after you help people that need help is the best feeling ever. That's why I like being a caregiver. I am 32 years old with a husband and 2 children.

    I am very compassionate and I love to talk with people. The elderly always have very interesting stories. I became a caregiver because I want to help others by being able to stay in thier homes and live a normal life.

    Hello my name is Jennifer a CNA with 30 yrs experience in healthcare. I thought being a CNA/caregiver would be a great start to being the nurse I always wanted to be! I have worked in many healthcare environments such as; nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home health, hospice, caregiver in home care, respite care, private care for individuals for families in privacy of their own home, and a weekend live in caregiver. I am a loving, friendly, trustworthy, and loyal person. I love swimming, animals, and being outdoors (when it is warm)! I have the heart and enjoy being a caregiver because I can help the ones that are no longer able to do on their own. What I love most being a caregiver is to see that smile on their face when I am walking out the door! That shows me that my work was well done, and that I did a good duty for today!
