About Tara

I became a Caregiver because I had always wanted to nurture others and treat their physical/emotional wounds. Being a Caregiver is so fulfilling because of the positive difference you can make in others' lives. I am proud of my years with the Residents and realizing how much they taught me about worth and living life fully even with debilitating conditions. I greatly enjoy learning people's histories. Everyone has a story to share.

    I am hard working, patient and compassionate. I am able to handle any situation that comes my way, while keeping my composure. I was attracted to this field of work because I believe in making the best possible use of what you have. Being patient and "passive" is not always viewed as a positive thing, but if I can leverage my personality traits to build professional relationships that are mutually beneficial, I believe that is a truly rewarding experience. I am a natural problem solver and that's what makes this job enjoyable for me. I like the fact that every day is different and brings new challenges that translate into learning experiences. I aim to learn as much as possible, at all times, regardless of circumstance. I am proud of the fact that I am able to remain positive and take something away from each experience I have in life.

I became a caregiver because of my grandparents and also I love caring for other people. My personal achievement that I am proud of is being a Certified Nurse Aide and Medication Administration for 9 years and I run my own Memory Care Assisted Living for 2 years now.
