About Tamara

Hello, thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I am a people person and have always enjoyed helping others so it was only natural that I pursued care-giving. I treat my clients with respect and love. I build relationships with them and treat them like the people they are and not the diagnosis they were given. It is not just a job for me. I put my heart into what I do and it shows. My favorite part of the job is seeing a clients face light up when they discover that they can do things that others told them they couldn't. I am patient and allow my clients the space, time and resources they need to flourish and thrive.

1. What actually makes me a great caregiver is my willingness to serve others and I believe it's my calling. 2. I became a caregiver because, I have great compassion for individuals in need of personal one on one care. 3. Their are several reasons why I like being a caregiver. The first reason is that I am able to be there for individuals that are in need of help. Another reason I enjoy being a caregiver is because, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and after the cancer she went into remission. Shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with dementia. Recently she was diagnosed with Parkinson. I eventually had to move her into my home and I realized how self fulfilling and rewarding it is to serve others with sincere humility. I feel that as a caregiver each individuals that I care for should receive the best of care, compassion, and the best quality of care that life has to offer. 4. My most greatest achievement is yet to come because, I'm looking to achieve more tomorrow than I have today. Life is a lifelong learning process and when you think that you have achieved your greatest achievement there is still room left for more improvement.
