About Tolanda

A good caregiver is someone who is compassionate for the person being taken care of as well for their families. I became a caregiver from taking care of my grandfather for most of his life and my mid-adult life until his transition on March 2, 2011. He was ninety-eight years old. Our relationship was wonderful. We were inseparable. An elderly person needs someone that they can confide and trust. I am most passionate about the wisdom that these clients can give you that will impact your life. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is that after you are done with your assignment the family is pleased with the results that were made. I like experiencing that I made a difference in someone's life.
