About Tonia

I absolutely love and adored elderly people. To me they are just like children. They are fragile, innocent and defenseless. I look at them as our hero's! They have fought the good fight and won the race! They are very wise and full of knowledge. I love to see them smile and knowing I made a difference in their day and lives by caring for them and spending time with them. Time alot of families can't provide due to work loads, family and chaos from every day life. I've always been a people person! Social butterfly they say! My past job.experience in the food industry were some of the best years of my life. Customers would come in just to see me if they were having a bad day or just needed to smile. They would follow me from one Restaraunt to another. I love my customers like they were extended family. I looked forward to seeing them as much as they looked forward to coming to eat. Taking care of my grandfather last couple of years put another passion in my heart. To care for the elderly. To sit with some lady or man who is alone and make conversation with them. Make them feel special and loved and to reassure them their not alone. Awesome communication and social skills, able to work in either slow or fast paced environment, team player, loyal, motivated and honest

What makes me a great caregiver I always seek the best needs for the clients. I'm passionate about my work. I'm loving, compassionate, and caring. I do the best I can to make the client feel comfortable. I always wanted to be a caregiver, mainly because my mother inspired me so much. She was a caregiver (nurse) for a long time. When she became I'll I became her caregiver and gave her all the comfort, love, and nourishment she always gave to her clients and others.
