About Me

I am a very caring person with 25 years experience who always completes tasks that need to be done. I was a grade school teacher in Jamaica and since I came to the United States many years ago, I've done everything from baby and child care to elderly care but mostly elder care. Most importantly, I am trustworthy and hardworking. Caring for people is my life and livelihood. I have worked on some very complicated cases, including quadriplegics, people on ventilators and oxygen, clients who are bedridden, and many who have cancer, diabetes, blindness, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, brain injuries, and cerebral palsy, to name a few. I have also had experience with hospice care. I've accompanied patients to their doctor appointments and I help make sure they take their medication. I'm tidy when I work and I also can shop and cook for clients. I like to cook, and I especially like connecting with my clients and bringing a joke or a song to make them smile. I spend my spare time in church and church activities. I take my role as a caregiver very seriously and you can count on me.

Recommendations

Linda worked for my mother for almost four years (2015-2019) to help her in the assisted living facility where she lives. Because my mother's dementia was so advanced, the facility required us to hire a private caregiver to assist her. My mother is extremely challenging to deal with and we had been through many caregivers before Linda. Linda excels at working with dementia clients and she kept my mother clean despite near-daily accidents, brought her to meals and helped her eat appropriately, and kept me well-informed of my mother's needs and activities. Recently when my mother was hospitalized, Linda was fantastic about helping her in the hospital, lifting her spirits, and making sure the hospital staff was taking good care of my mother. I absolutely recommend Linda.

Linda is a reliable, knowledgeable, concerned caregiver who thinks on her feet and can handle anything. She has worked for my husband for more than 7 years and it is now 2022. My husband is in his 60s and he uses a wheelchair and Linda helps him transfer, shower, and get dressed, and she also assists with his hygiene. Linda has the experience to know how to deal with many situations relating to caring for someone. We have found her to always be prompt and courteous, and she always has her client's best interests in mind. She takes her job seriously and has little patience for caregivers who don't do the same. It always amazes me how much Linda knows about caring for people and how many different types of clients she has worked with over the years. She is someone who likes to learn new things so she can gain experience to help the the next client. For example, she learned how to use a complicated muscle stimulator machine to help my husband and also to monitor and assist with his wound vac. Linda is personable and smart, keeps up to date on world events, and is easy to get along with. I highly recommend her.

Linda cared for my wife in 2014-15. My wife had terminal cancer and I cannot overemphasize the compassion, care, and treatment that Linda displays. She is truly dedicated to her work and takes great pride in it. Our family was blessed to have found Linda. We would recommend Linda and her caregiving skills to anyone in need. They would be lucky to have her.
