About Tara

Being a Caregiver to me is more about being a friend and sharing my happiness. Living life is all about being happy. A person who is not capable of doing for themselves completely deserves someone who is as caring, empathetic, and compassionate as I. Never will I treat care giving as a job because I care more to be a friend to clients. I decided to become a Caregiver after my Grandmother was hit by a car and a tumor was discovered on her brain. She needed lots of rehabilitation and communication to stimulate her memory. This allowed me to gain experience working with a stranger as she did not remember who I was. My Grandmother is now well and living on her own. Occasionally I stop by just to sit and talk because being her Caregiver allowed us to become more than family, we are now the best of friends. The type of friendship I now have with my Grandmother is one that I wish to share with as many others as I possibly can.

    I have taken care of my parents and I would treat my clients as I would have done for my parents they stayed at home and were cared for in the comfort of their own home. You have to have compassion and treat clients with respect and dignity. Always let them feel they are still independent not treating them like a child. I had my own Adult Family Care Home and I specialized with Dementia residents. I am a dependable, caring and loving individual and I would never treat them any less or make them feel any less than the adults they are.

    I am a married father of two children 9 and 10. I have worked with people all of my life and am more interested in those relationships than earning a lot of money. I have a BA in Psychology and spent the first five years after college working with disabled kids at the Connecticut Institute for the Blind. My wife now earns the big money as a Vice President of Marketing for a local Health Care Company. I am looking for something that allows me to be with my children after school and weekends and provides me some personal satisfaction in that the work makes a difference.
