A visual perception of time

So I'm creating a character that is an extradimensional being that exists outside of time. If we experience time as a linear event, how would time be perceived if this being has the ability to see time in a way that we look at how people move through three dimensions.

I was initially going to base it off of how Dr. Manhattan perceives time (simultaneously happening but unable to directly affect it), but the character I'm creating also has the ability to manipulate time for other individuals.

I forgot where I read it, but if a being were to perceive time for an individual, the person would look like a massive worm. The "head" is where the person ends up and the "tail" of the worm would be where the person comes from.

Would that be an accurate representation of how an extradimensional being would perceive time for individuals?
