About Tyra

I first became a Certified Nursing Assistant because I wanted to learn more about health care. I then obtained a Bachelors degree in Athletic Training to also further my knowledge in health care. I ultimately want to be a Caregiver because I love the one on one care I can provide to my patient. Also working in a nursing home you don't have much time for one on ones with patients because you are always helping someone else and your job is never done. However, working as a Caregiver you can spend more time and able to learn more about your patient. That's my favorite part is building relationships through taking care of patients and also having meaningful conversations with them. A personal achievement I'm very proud of is being the first in my family to graduate from college. A little fun fact about me is I have played soccer since I was five. It has always been a passion of mine and I was even fortunate to play in college.

    It has been my privilege to lovingly care for elderly people with dementia, starting with my mother-in-law. I enjoy entering their world and showing them the dignity, respect and gentle care our elders should have. I have become the trusted companion of each person I’ve cared for, and have served several of them for years at a time. Support for the family of the person I am companion to is a special part of my ministry. I am currently a part-time seminary student and simply love people. My desire is to bring joy and wisdom in caregiving to those I serve.

    Although I have always had a natural ability to help others, I became interested in caregiving and the healthcare field after taking care of my uncle who had cancer. I understood the importance in providing quality care for those in need. As a certified CNA, being passionate in what I do, responsible, empathetic, and self-less are the qualities I am proud to carry. An accomplishment I am proud of is going back to school to pursue nursing and maintaining a high GPA.
