About Tammy

Nearing the age of 50, it makes me think about what I would like to pursue before my time is up. It's not easy to decide with such little time left. But, with great thought I found an urge to help others, especially vulnerable seniors. Volunteering at Hospice of the West, my vision became clear and my compassion towards seniors has never been greater. Now I feel that it is my turn to carry on my passion by helping the seniors in need and setting an example of a great caregiver. Putting myself in some other persons shoes, I understand how much pressure and difficulty an elderly will endure, once being so independent and strong yet becoming so dependent and weak. That is why I feel a connection, and a duty, to help the elderly get back the life they once had. And personally, I enjoy listening to the elderly's experiences, stories, memories, and wisdom as I feel they will help me live the last part of my life to the fullest.

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I like being able to assist others with chores and duties they cannot fulfill themselves, as well as being a companion to the elderly. A personal achievement I have made is making a difference in someone else's life. I have achieved this by tutoring many students within various school districts in all subjects, and youths both incarcerated and released, but were on probation. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Admin/Human Services, and plan to start on my Master's degree in the near future in Social work or Psychology. I love spending time with family and worship my four grandsons, they are a true blessing to me! ***My rates vary depending on the type of care needed and for multiple people. I also charge double time on holidays. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!

I am an excellent Caregiver, no challenge or task when it comes to my patients needs are refused (unless detrimental to the patient.) I never take chances when lifting or transfer patient with special special needs I'm a good listener. Respect is big thing when it comes to caring for the sick. "They are not children" and should treated and respected as adults I have a way of respectfully getting them to exercise, take the medication, bath, exedra. Because I know these patients that. An also suffer from depressed, I try really hard to keep their spirits up and remind them they are loved and cared for. Have the abilities to speak with doctors and articulate whats needed for the patient. Make appointments. Order and prepare medications. Check vitals, including blood sugar. Give insulin shots. The for knowledge of gastric tube feeding and maintenance of the tube. Full knowledge and experience using a Hoyer lift. I'm able to guide an electric wheelchair while patient is in it, good with getting him patients out the house, shopping walking. I'm an excellent and caring care giver. I am specially proud of working with quadriplegic patient that only giving 5 years. we shared 13 1/2 wonderful years together.
