I became a caregiver 15 yrs ago after caring for my Dad during his battle with cancer. This is when I became passionate about helping others. I've had many clients since that needed care for reasons such as cancer, end of life, dementia, post-surgical, blindness, TBI, old-age, PT assistance, or just companionship. I'm extremely compassionate, patient & understanding. Sometimes it's difficult for people to accept care when they've always been independent. So I'm very gentle in how I offer my help in a way that makes them feel comfortable with me & allows them to retain their dignity. I don't even wear scrubs like most caregivers, so as not to present myself as their caregiver, but more like a friend that is there to help. I treat every client as though they're family. I'm able to help with bathing, dressing, errands, simple meals, meds, or just companionship. I'm very down to earth, friendly, witty, trustworthy & dependable. CPR cert, excellent driving record, Pet lover.

    Linda has worked for us for five years and done a great job from day one. She is always on time and has not missed one day. She very quickly became part of our family. We originally hired her to assist my husband who was recovering from a massive stroke; as my husband improved, her duties transitioned from his caregiver to more of an assistant. She cheerfully does any requested task including, preparing breakfast and lunch, driving to PT and dental appointments, grocery shopping, pharmacy, cleaners, banking, laundry, and other miscellaneous errands. I recently retired; therefore, her services are no longer required. We highly recommend Linda; I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Linda is a rare find and will do a fabulous job for you and your loved ones. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her back should we need assistance in the future.
