About Tonia

I became a Caregiver because i love helping people. I don't know any other way to put it. I get along so well with people and especially Seniors because I have a great deal of patience. One thing that I learned while being a caregiver is that patience is the key to putting a smile on a client's face. I have a very warm and sympathetic heart. I only treat individuals the way I would like to get treated. Being a Caregiver can have challenges, but if you put your best foot forward you wont have anything to worry about. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that with all of the chaos that I had to deal with, I still made it a big deal to graduate at the top of my class with a Bachelor's Degree in Science. I am a very easy going individual that doesn't take life for granted. I have been told that i am an open individual that doesn't judge people. i love people , meeting them, and staying connected with them. Organization and being efficient is very important to me.

I'm a mother of 5 and grandmother to 10. I've worked as a caregiver for the last 15+ years and counting. I love my clients and working with the elderly. What started out as a job became second nature and probably alot of that has to do with my cultural background. I loved it so much, I paid for my own training and certifications to be an independent caregiver. I got bonded, insured and registered with the state and I have several great references from the loving families of those whom I have cared for over the years. I've had great experiences with those who I have worked for and with, along with learning from wonderful nurses and doctors that I've interacted with during the care of many of my clients. I am very proud of the achievements I've made in taking the initiative to learn as I go with each client, and each client came with various conditions and ailments, and some with multiple conditions. It has been a great journey of growth and connection for me like no other and I find it so fulfilling to be able to help our elderly population in need. They have been all like family.
