About Toccara

I have 14 yrs.of experience in the nursing field.Since I was a little girl I've always enjoyed helping others it did matter if they were young or old if i could help i would. I knew i wanted to be a nurse when I was 11 yrs. old and my aunt got sick . My mom took care of her, I would help when I came home from school. I love being a caregiver because it feels good to help those who cant help themselves, and you never who face you can put a smile on. My two greatest accomplishments are raising a respectful teenage son who adores me;and the fact that i have a profession that i love and enjoy which allows me to meet different kinds of people. I started my nursing career at stella maris inc. 14 yrs. ago where I worked with patients with dementia and alzheimer's . I worked in a couple of different facilities I treat everyone with the same respect and dignity they deserve.

    I decided to become a caregiver about 12 years ago while caring for my 86 year old father. He had several medical issuses some include... COPD, seizures, stoke dementia etc. After his passing i realize how important it was to able to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. I also realize we may all be face with the need of someone to assist us with ADLs, errands and so forth one day. It brings me joy knowing I've helped someone continue to enjoy a quality life despite their limitation. I currently hold a CNA certification I'm a easy-going, compassionate, funloving a little quite at times self motivated and a serious minded female. My passion is to help others make the most out of their life.

    I became a caregiver because I love to help others. I like the fact that I can always be there for someone else in time of need. My biggest accomplishment was finishing school for medical assisting I know that I had to take care of my family and have responsibilities so I did what I had to. I'm a mother of a 7 year & a 8 month old I'm 30 years old, I'm good at what I do and I treat those like family of whom I take care of.
