Portrait of Linda, a CaringDriver serving North Boise & Garden City, ID

North Boise & Garden City, ID

Linda

Cared for her own mom through Parkinson's. Now she helps three other moms — and brings real experience.

About Linda

Linda spent two years caring for her mother through Parkinson's. When that chapter ended, she felt the quiet. She didn't want a 9-to-5, but she missed the rhythm of being needed. Now she helps three women in her neighborhood — a ride to the doctor, a stop at the pharmacy, a little tidying up before she heads home.

Currently helps

Eleanor, 79 — recovering from knee surgery
