About Tiffany

I am a experienced Vocational Nurse, with experience working in surgery as a surgical Tech. I have experience caring for dementia and Alzheimer's clients, as well as clients with multiple ailments. I focus on the client as a whole, and I pay strict attention to detail. I cook, clean, and do my best to follow my clients normal everyday routine so that life feels as close to normal as possible. I am a patient, calm, great listener and detail oriented companion. I understand that aging is not always graceful, however, helping someone maintain their dignity, privacy and pride is important. Especially when they are unable to maintain these things on their own. I believe that a healthy diet, environment, and activities help to balance out the mind, body, heart and soul. I am a firm believer in "if you don't move it, you lose it", so I do my best to keep my clients moving. Mentally and physically. I enjoy caring for others. Heart, mind, body and soul. Empathy is important in understanding the need of others. The vitality of others is important to me.

I love what I do! I love making a difference in someone's life - if I can make them laugh or smile then I've done my job! If I can get my clients out of the house for shopping, appointments or even lunch then I'm helping them help me! I love making new friends & having everlasting friendships with my clients and their families! For the past 3 years I've been a caregiver for my neighbor's dad (he's 97), I was his morning caregiver (he had round the clock caregiving), I fed him breakfast and lunch, took him to church / bingo every Monday, we did his errands during the week and Fridays we did the library. I really love my job as a caregiver!
