About Taja

Hi, I'm Taja I go by TJ. I was a medical assistant And a CNA, I worked with dementia and Alzheimer's patients. I wanted more so I now work with adult with intellectual disabilities as a direct support professional and Supportive living assistant. I am very genuine, goofy, Fun, caring, loving, punctual, adventurous, hard working, and I always go the extra mile. I wanted to be in the medical field ever since I was 6 years old watching my grandmother go through malpractice, neglect, physical abuse and starvation by her Nurses Aide. My Grandfather felt hopeless and killed himself, and my grandmother was still going through it. I kneeled down at age 8 and said " don't worry mama I'm going to become a registered nurse and take care of you myself, we will have a big house and a nice car I promise". She just responded with a "mhmm". She ended up passing away a bit later. After that I kept my same promise for other people because I refuse to let anyone go through what I seen. I treat everyone like family.

HI, my name is Nicole ( Nicky) & I specialize in private home care as well as hospital after care and have been a care specialist for 10 years+. My hourly wage is 25 per hour for caregiving, cleaning, transporting. For post op care 30 per hour. An unexpected twist in my life. At the age of 41 my best friend was diagnosed with Colon Cancer & my journey began. You are immediately part of a team; patient, family, doctors & yes the disease. Hospice, was what I learned and experienced next. This is where the most important work comes in. In person /working interviews are what are preferable for this kind of choice. Routine Dr. appointments as well as surgeries are a big part of companion care and I understand that. I teach care teams to use delivery for groceries and necessities. Delivery saves time and money. My care experience includes but is not limited to, Dementia, Parkinsons, Aphasia and other cognitive issues, along with mobility and eyesight and hearing challenges. Complete knowledge of pre op, post op surgeries. Rehab for replacement surgeries. Primarily I work as a companion/respite caregiver helping families with loved ones at home or living in assisted living communities. Also experienced with palliative and hospice situations. I'm excellent with Mommy Makeovers, Mastectomy, Facelifts, Masculinizing Chest Surgery and BBL aftercare. Companionship is where my heart is and reliable respite for the support team and family. Benefits of RESPITE - include, light housekeeping (folowing guidelines, I am NOT a MAID, light housekeeping only. Meal prep, companionship and whatever help is needed to get life back to manageable. Excited to start helping your family. Serious interest only, please and thank you. I live in North Las Vegas. In this very personal decision you will be making; please remember whether it's yourself or a loved one. You really do get what you pay for. Im Nicole & Im dedicated to making every day, the best we can make it.
