About TONYA

I am a very passionate person, I love being a part of helping families with their loved ones.I am a patient and kind caregiver,I have learned a lot of patience from the people that I have cared for.I decided I wanted to go into nursing at 12 years old when my mother was helping care for an elderly friend. I saw how happy my mother was when she was a help to this family and how much they appreciated her care. I enjoy learning about the people I care for, I have learned alot of life lessons from them many have had really interesting stories that just blow my mind. I received my CNA license at the age of 19 and then got my Caregiver's license shortly after a big achievement for me.I spent most of my years in nursing career in nursing homes.(long term care facilities) I did spend some of my time working with children with disabilities, which was an AMAZING time for me. I worked in a few care homes, which gave me the opportunity to be one on one with the residents living.I am a enthusiactic person, I enjoy learning new things to enable me to care for people better.I just love being in the nursing community.
