About Tamara

After primarily serving as a mother to my four children for the past several years, I am ready to engage once again in the medical care field. I have a current WA state Certified Medical Assistant license, AAMA certification, as well as current First Aide/BLS/CPR. Although my work experience was as a certified medical assistant in the field of ob/gyn, I have a heart and calling for the elderly including hospice and palliative care. I pride myself on being reliable, organized, and compassionate. I would be honored to help care for your loved ones.

As a Certified Nursing Assistant with nine years of experience, I enjoy getting to know people and contributing to their lives in a positive way. I do not shy away from working with various health issues. Most importantly, I want clients and their families to feel that they have received their money's worth when I have finished for the day. I reside in Seattle and am seeking local clientele. References from current and former clients are available upon request.

Greetings! I fell in love with caregiving while attending travel school, and working for an elderly man in his home. My passion for caregiving comes from growing up in a large family and always having people around me of all ages. I adored my grandparents, and had the pleasure of caring for all of my older siblings children before having 2 of my own. When I lost my grandparents, I decided that I wanted to spend my time around seniors, helping them to remain in their homes as long as possible. It has been a 35 year career for me, and I enjoy it more every day! The personalities of my clients are so varied and so valuable, and the knowledge and humor I have witnessed has been truly priceless. I hope I can somehow give back as much as I have been given.
