About Tabatha

I have always had an outstanding drive to help others. I started doing care giving as an "in" for the healthcare field and to be able to love my job. My first care giving experience was In-Home care. It brought a whole new light to my eyes. You never really realize how many people are struggling on a daily basis and who want to enjoy their life but, may be hindered by disabilities from accomplishing their personal goals and dreams. I love my field of work because i get to go home everyday feeling accomplished knowing i helped someone achieve something they may or may not have been able to do easily on their own. I love people and puzzles, both are perfect for assisting others. Sometimes you have to find a solution to the situation and thinking outside the box is my specialty. A personal achievement i'm proud of is having training and certifications that furthered my knowledge in the healthcare field. Certifications: -Basic CPR/First Aide -BLS Healthcare Provider CPR/AED/First Aid Come January,2018 I start my next program for a Certified Phlebotomy Technician. I plan to work my way up the latter and eventually find my "niche" in the healthcare and medical field.
