About Taji

I am a very outgoing and loving person. Caring for people comes 2nd nature for me. When my grandmother got ill i moved back to take care of her because she refused to go to a nursing home. That experience really made me want to get into becoming a caregiver. The fulfillment of just knowing i am helping people to be able to stay in their homes is an awesome feeling, and knowing that they are being taking care of by a person who really care and will treat them as her own family. I have 2 sons so bathing or changing another person is no biggie to me. I would be happy to help anyone old or young no matter the circumstances.

Growing up I always wanted to help people, from feeding the homeless, to providing clothes to families in need, as well as donating blankets to children at hospitals. Its not only a job for me, its a lifestyle. You see patients everyday, you form a relationship, a friendship. That is what matters most that your both comfortable, that they are getting the best care they can get because they deserve the best. I have grown up on a farm so animals are not a problem for me, after all they are considered family. I promise that I will give them the best that they deserve, helping in any way that I can.
