About Tamara

I became a caregiver when I had to step in and take care of a family member, who had a stroke. I like the fact that I was helping someone get rehabilitated while experiencing a miracle happen right before my eyes. I've been told that there should be hundreds more like myself, from just about every and anyone I have worked for and with. It's great feeling to have when you can go beyond others and your own expectations and receive certificates and rewards on how much people love you for what you do for their families. I became a CNA in 1998 and currently hold my certification. I'm also a Certified Pharmacy Technician and have been for 9 years and counting. I am a mother of 5 and wife.

I am a single Mom of two Sons, 25 and 22. When they were younger, I volunteered and worked at their schools as well as coached their soccer and basketball teams. I've volunteered at churches, senior homes and The American Red Cross. I am compassionate, empathetic, a good listener, responsible, dependable and trustworthy. I'm also outgoing, patient and have a strong desire to help others! I love caregiving and my goal is to successfully take care of a client's needs while making their day as enjoyable as possible through conversation and laughter, activities, etc. I have been a caregiver for both men and women and have 10 years of caregiving experience. I'm a former Elementary school teacher and am a Certified Nurse Assistant. I would love to meet with you to see if we are a good fit!
