About Tawanda

I have always liked helping people. In 2002 I completed the nursing assistant program but never took the certification test due to I moved and went off to college. What really made me realize caring for those in need was my calling was in 2010 my step father was diagnosed with cancer and I had to help care for him but his last few months I was hired by DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES to care for him 7 days a week when he became terminal. I have to say that was the best and hardest position I ever had because the work I was doing really made a difference and made me realize the best reward was helping someone else. There is no bigger reward then seeing or feeling the gratitude from someone you have helped or are helping to feel better or gain a better quality of life.
