About Tara

Hello Family, I am looking for short term or part time less than 20 hour. This may change depending on the circumstances. I'm a very patient person. I have been a caregiver for a total of 22 years. I love working with the elderly, developing delayed(high functioning only as I do not have training on low functioning people or children, though I am willing to see and understand every aspect of the relationship of the individual and their families on how they work together in their homes). This is as well with every client I would like to meet. I know just a little bit of Arabic and same with ASL as I had take classes in the past. My preferred language is English. My hobbies are fishing, mild nature walks, quilting, writing poems, and photography. I also like long and short road trips. I like art. I love most animals, though I am allergic to cats and dogs. I have worked with clients who have cats. My only thing that would work is to have the air conditioner on to the coldest for me to my duties. With dogs, it depends on their dander, the licks and the texture of their hair. I personally own a dog and 3 geckos. I have two grown children, which are boys. I do have experience with children with special needs (OCD, ODD, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome). I hope this helps with your research in finding the right appreciate candidate for your loved one. Best regards, Tara
