About Tammy

My Mom was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia in 2009. I became her Plenary Guardian and caregiver until she left us in 2014. Since then, my mission and vision was to open a company to take care of Seniors and help their caregivers with respite so they can live their lives where they are most comfortable. Thus, Friends of Virginia was created. My long term goal is to open several gated tiny home communities throughout Maine for people with dementia. I am not only available to the Seniors but to their families as well so they can get a break and let their Seniors age in their current homes as long as possible.

What makes me a great care giver is that, I have the ability to listen to my client concerns and find ways to assist them. I am a great listener, an advocator and I get alone with people very well. I like treating my clients as people not object. Their happiness comes first. I became a caregiver because i feel like it is my calling. My passion for this field is something extraordinary. I grew up seeing so many family members suffered traumatically. Many of them faced a lot of psychological issues. I felt like it was my responsibility to go out there and learn the tools so I can direct them to a better path. What I like about being a caregiver is to see my clients smile alone with any other person I come across. I love making a difference into their lives. I love building rappor with them do they can trust me. A personal achievement I am proud of is having my daughter.
