About Tuitamai

Taking care of those in need always makes me feel so good! I know that we go through rough trials the older we get and I want to be their to help you through those times of need when you need that extra companionship, extra help or care. I have 8 plus years experience working as a caregiver to my past clients who had Dementia, Alzheimer s, cancer, bedridden, stroke, diabetic, paralyzed, ALS, and even hospice. I have worked for a couple of board & care homes, caregiver agencies and mostly private care for clients in the comfort of there own home. I have done live-in and Live-out. I can cook, clean, manage medication, assist with showers and dressing, assist with transfers, exercises, and even help with errands and escort to and from appointments. I love what I do as a caregiver and it makes me happy to know I am able to help my clients that need my help. You can't be a caregiver if your whole heart is not in it, I put my full mind, body & soul into my work as a caregiver, I take care of them as if they were my own family. We only live once, and I am honored that I get to be apart of my clients life ,being that they have lived a long life already, Every day counts,and that is what I want to do for them, is to make it count !

Martinez Family

Laura Martinez, Hired me to take care of her mom & dad (78 & 82) who were going through beginning stages of Dementia, along with other health issues. My job was to help them through the day by managing their medications, preparing & cooking healthy meals, laundry, daily cleaning around the house, keep them company and make sure I tend to their needs while their daughter was at work. I loved working with the Martinez Family, unfortunately at the end of my term here both have passed on. I'm happy I spent the last few years helping them day by day and trying to make it comfortable for them as much as I could. I love what I do as a caregiver ,being able to help and care for the elderly is my calling and I enjoy seeing their smile and able to give their families hope that their loved ones are fine.

When I was a teenager, I provided care for my uncle when he was really sick and bedridden. I was on vacation and decided to be with him instead. He improved after a couple of months and I helped him with transferring, feeding, comfort, toileting and grooming. I really enjoyed assisting him and knew I wanted to become a caregiver or a nurse. I really love providing for the needs of my patients, improving their care and giving back to the patients and families. Sometimes the joy you see in their faces after a job, and the smile and thank you makes all the hard work worth your time. During my job, and past experience, I have assisted coworkers to help patients that needed extensive help such as transferring, toileting, grooming and companionship. I am a reliable person, friendly, organized, patient, hard working, strong, and flexible. I love helping others and always have this smile on my face that gives hope and happiness to others. I am highly talented as a nursing aide with a lot of experience in performing work caring for residents. I am bilingual in French and English; have excellent interpersonal communication skills, am compassionate and technically skilled in attending to patients. I am adept to helping patients in diverse healthcare settings. I am a certified nursing assistant with experience working with the elderly and adults. Nursing professional with 5+ years extensive experience.

I enjoy helping people, I am a person who likes to be needed. I helped with my grandmother as well as my mom before they passed. I liked caring for them and that's what made me think about caring or helping other elderly people. I like when I can bring something out in them letting them know that just because they have advance in years they still are important. When I can find something that they use to do but got away from it because they don't have anyone to enjoy it with. like listening music, playing a game, going on a short walk, just something they enjoy doing but gotten away from it. and if they don't have much interest in anything I try to find something that can bring a little joy
