About Linette

I come from a family of nurses and it's been in my blood since I was a little girl to take care of other people. I became a caregiver when my grandmother retired from nursing and passed the torch to me. I've been caring for seniors for well over 8 yrs and I love everything about it. I pride myself on the ability to be compassionate and understanding when it comes to the needs of my patients. I've had the pleasure of working with a full spectrum of different people with different situations, and I've learned from them all. I have, as one of my patients' family members put it, a aura about myself that makes it easy to like me, not just for the job that I do, but as a kind, gentle, and loving person which in today's world is an extremely hard thing to find.
