About Tara

I am currently unavailable for work right now. If and when things change I will update my profile when I become available. I became a care giver to provide those in need with the support and caring that others may have forgotten about due to their everyday lives. My goal is to provide the client with a safe environment where they feel comfortable with their daily activities while in my care. I like being a care giver because I am able to learn from others experiences and gain the knowledge they can provide me. I have achieved my Associates degree in Social an Behavioral Science after going to school for four years. This was while taking care of my two children and in the process had another child but was still able to maintain a 2.0 gpa. I am compassionate and able to listen to others needs. I am also encouraging and help others to achieve their own goals. I am young in age but have and old soul, which helps me connect to those older then I am. I am ready to start working and help make a difference in others lives.

    I am a happy, healthy, compassionate, loyal, patient, loving person who found my caregiver calling late in life. I am 66 years old and have been doing this for a little over 12 years and love what I do. I started when a couple different neighbors of mine were ill and didn't have any family to help them. I had my CPR CERT so I said why not and when they were doing better I decided to make this my work. (Experience through: IHSS, CARE.COM, CARELINX & CAMBRIAN HOME CARE) The first client I had was in very bad shape when I met him, diabetes, renal failure, heart failure, living on his own, not keeping up with his meds or taking his insulin properly. I called his Dr. got him on a med schedule and with the right food, TLC and exercise he did quite well. Since then I have had several different clients, one was on hospice and others I took to Dr appts., med Mgmt. , meal prep, errands and companionship. I'm looking now because one of my clients I had been caring for since 2015, unfortunately she passed away early November. I enjoy my work and I work very hard! Thank you so much, Cindy

    I started caregiving to help a friend's mother and ended up enjoying it. I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. Majority of my clients have had dementia from infantile to extreme aggression and Alzheimer's. I am a kind, hard working, patient person. I do not have children or a spouse (this shouldn't matter) and am very punctual. Also I am flexible in hours and time of work.
