About Tameka

I'm a great caregiver because I treat each client as if they were family and I love being able to know I've helped or made someone's day even better then what it was. I became a caregiver because I used to help out with my grandmother before she passed and I took a liking to the feeling of helping etc and as I learned more and got more experience I pretty much started to love it I like to be hands on and just knowing I helped out and made someone feel better makes me feel good about what I do. My personal achievement is to be able to have long stability with the field I'm in and to be able to grow and stay in the field to learn more and be able to support my family more.

We all have a need to feel valued and loved regardless of our position in life or our age. I seek to serve and assist, to laugh with and encourage these valuable ones who have lived so much life and who have contributed in both seen and unseen ways to our families and communities. I see caregiving as a way to give back....bringing heartfelt joy to people and helping....I can think of no greater job. I would love to talk with you and discuss how I can be of help for you and your loved one. Also would be happy to provide references . I live near Bel Air, and would love to connect and assist in the Bel Air/Fallston/Abingdon area.

I became a caregiver to give back to the elderly. the best part about being a caregiver is seeing the smile on their face by helping them out doing something they can't do for them selfs anymore. I'm proud of myself I made it to school a single mother of 4 proud still being alive
