About Tammy

I have been a caregiver since the age of 16. I am a medical assistant and while working in an office setting I had a patient that came in for a physical, which upon asking questions and taking his blood pressure, I immediately called for an ambulance. He was transported to the hospital and he later came and thanked me for saving his life. I enjoy seeing the smile or gratitude on someone's face after I have accomplished a task that alot of people take for granted.

Hello My Name is Kyester I go by Kye or Ester if easier for some. I have been in the healthcare field since 1990. I started off at a personal care home while in the 8th grade, obtained my CNA in 1997 and went to my 1st nursing facility. I have truly enjoyed working with all the many clients and families, even through the good and bad times we have encountered together. Healthcare has been very emotional foe me at times, specially when you get attached emotionally and there is nothing you can do but be there, be patient and supportive . Currently available after 3pm.

Hi my name is Erin. Let me start by telling you why I got into this line of work to begin with. My dad is 60 yrs old now but in 2013 he was diagnosed with leukemia. He went through several rounds of chemo and then his bone marrow transplant. After a bone marrow transplant they give you medicine to keep you from rejecting the transplant. He was so sick and not getting any better. He began having siezures which lead the doctors to do more tests to find out why and when they did they found that he was allergic to the medicine and it had caused him to have several strokes. From there he went on to an acute care facility and to rehab but he was never the same. It left him paralyzed. While he was in and out if these facilities we saw so many things that were just wrong. Patients calling for nurses and the nurses never went to help. After that we took him home and mother and I learned to care for my father ourselves. After all that I decided I was going to go into home healthcare to care for people so that they didn't have to go to a nursing home because people deserve to be loved and cared for just like my father. This personal experience is what makes me a great caregiver.
