From August 2020 until his death in April 2022, I worked with a schizophrenic, bipolar, stage five kidney disease patient. I managed. his nutritional needs, extensive medication, which constantly changed, and PT to increase his muscle strength. I consulted with his psychiatrist, psychologist, nephrologist, vascular surgeon, and cardiologist to ensure that all appointments were kept and any changes in his medical and mental condition were monitored closely and discussed with them. I maintained a positive and encouraging attitude and encouraged a positive attitude in him. Prior to this, I cared for a World War II Veteran in 2016 and a geriatric patient in 2015 until they both died. I also cared for my mother who fought a courageous battle against Alzheimer's disease until her death in 2009. I am a college graduate and former Pharmaceutical Rep. I was also a Substitute Teacher for 10 years. I have impeccable references from all three caregiver jobs and my resume is available.

Linda was my student at Oakland Com. College before transferring to Madonna Univ. to get a B.A in Communication and Business. We have been friends ever since. LINDA IS AN OUTSTANDING PERSON IN EVERY WAY! Linda became a pharmaceutical rep. while raising two beautiful children alone. Today she is a, much in demand, substitute teacher. Anyone would do well to have her in their company.
