Tammy P.

I would love to make a difference in your one's life! I am 44 years old and am a mother who enjoys family. I love taking care of people and enjoy what I do. I like to know that I can make a difference in someone's life. Hopefully, I can be a perfect match for the care that you need. I am a highly recommended, personal care provider looking to provide assistance for a senior individual or couple in a family setting. I am very skilled, with over 15 years of experience. I provide services such as hygiene and personal care, medication reminders, companionship, grocery shopping, running errands, light housekeeping, pet assistance, as well as hobby assistance. I have experience with Alzheimer's and dementia as well for the last 6 years. My certifications include Fundamentals of Care giving, HHC License, Alzheimer's and Dementia Care, and CPR and First Aid certification. I charge $18-$20 hour depending on care. My reliable references are available upon request. I'm a dedicated worker who works well with others and a team player with my fellow co-workers. I have worked with individuals with diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, and those on hospice and in rehabilitation.

I think what makes me a great caregiver is, that not only do I love helping people to get their daily activities done, but I have a lot of personal experience caregiving. When I first got into caregiving I was taking care of a family member who was a paraplegic, and a home health nurse came one day and told me how good of a job and how fast I was at catching on to certain things, and that I should really look into nursing and that is exactly what I did. What I enjoy most about caregiving, is that it's never a dull day, and I can go home feeling good about myself that I had actually accomplished something good for the day. My Personal Achievement that I am proud of, from being a caregiver is that I finished getting licensed in the state of Washington, and was pregnant at the time I was doing it and working a full-time job with lots of overtime I would get at least 60 hours a week. And I got it done. Right now I am going to school to get my Healthcare Administration License because my long term goal is to, travel the US and research different city's that really need home care, and open some adult foster homes for those in need.
