About Tanya

Hi my name is Tanya. I am 68. I have been in nursing or taking care of others since I was 17. I have loved every aspect of my nursing career. I retired in 2015 from Countryside Manor where I had been charge nurse on the Alzheimers unit since 1999. I retired to stay home and care for my elderly father and my husband who had suffered a stroke. My dad passed in September and my husband does well so I am now feeling the full impact of retirement......it's not for me! I am seeking a part time position I have worked with elderly or children. I would be very interested in providing so respite care.
