About Taiwo

I'm the only female child of my parents. In my country Nigeria, we believe very much in personal care of our aged relations. My care-giving experience started in 1985 in my country, (I was 21). My mom had a major surgery and couldn't care for her 89-year-old mother, so I moved from home to be with my grand mom in the village. I took care of all her till she passed on to glory at the age of 92. l also took care of my mom till she passed on at the age of 90. Here in the USA, I started full time 37.5 hours a week job as a caregiver at an Assisted Living facility in North East Portland OR for 12 months and l also worked as a Home Health Aide on part time for 6 months. I later went back to class for the Nursing Assistant program and later sat for the Oregon State Board of Nursing test and passed and became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Since then, I've worked as a full time and part time CNA at a Post Acute Rehab facilities across the state of Oregon . I went back to class again to get more skills in my career and presently l have my CNA 2.

I love taking care of people and helping families with their day to day needs with their loved ones. I have over 20 years of experience working in the medical field with both seniors and developmentally challenged individuals in their homes and in care home settings. I have over 5 years of hospice experience and handle each individual with the same love and compassion as I would for one of my family members. Caring for others enriches my life and the ones I'm caring for. I look forward to the smiles everyday and I take pride in the little things that make them feel comfortable while being cared for by someone who's not family.
