I have been in the medical field for over 20 years. I just recently lost my mom to COPD in November and I moved in with her for 3 years. She was on hospice for 15 months at the end. I have been a lead in a lab for 10 years. I was a collection supervisor for Central Blood Bank. I worked for Excela for 6 years as a medical assistant. I just recently worked for the doctor I worked for at Excela. I took care of her mom and brother. Her mother has passed away and her brother has moved to an assistant living facility. I am very dependable and I can give references upon request. I have a lot of experience taking care of bed ridden patients. I also have experience with medical equipment. I have just taken care of a couple for two years that had dementia. I was very good with them and I became very close to the family. I am very crazy about skin care. The couple I cared for for 2 years never had any issues with skin.

Linda was the best, most loving and dedicated caregiver for both of my parents for just shy of 2 years before their sad deaths just 9 weeks apart. Linda was the daughter I couldn’t be since I lived far away from them. She was dependable and loyal and we trusted her, and they trusted her, with all their frailties and vulnerabilities – dementia, blindness, hearing loss, cancer, renal disease, incontinence, mobility limitations and more. Linda treated them as her own parents. She fussed over them ensuring they ate, were hydrated, took their meds, and received the best medical care within and outside of the home. She fiercely protected them and kept them safe. She spoiled them with gifts, special holiday meals, cookouts, birthday parties and their favorite foods. She was the sunshine in their day, singing to them, making them laugh, keeping them warm, curling up in bed with them when they cried or were scared, and holding their hand with such a loving touch. She went above and beyond providing the ultimate care that anyone could ever wish for in their final years. Linda is a beautiful person with the soul and heart of an angel unlike anyone I’ve ever met. A truly special caregiver who I would trust with my own life and the lives of anyone I love. We were blessed from above to find Linda and she will be a part of our family for life. With the highest of recommendations I can give, Linda is truly the best compassionate and skilled caregiver you will find and never want to let go.
