About Tia

Hello, My name is Tia Carter and I plan on becoming a registered nurse. I started Elms College Fall of 2009 and was enrolled into their nursing program. I started working in the healthcare field that year so I can get more familiar with the healthcare field, and plus our instructors thought it would be a good idea to get a job in healthcare. I still work in the healthcare field even though I have taken some time off of school after completing two years, but I am going back very soon, hopefully this Fall of 2015. I really enjoy my job even though it may have it's days, but what job doesn't. I also look at it more than just a job and I enjoy getting to know and converse with the people I take care off or assist. I have met some very wise and kind people through my job. I really look forward to finishing up school to get my RN degree.

    My story started when my grandparents got sick. My grandparents raised me. When they got sick I took care of both of them for 2 years each. I love being around elderly people and enjoy their company. I believe in my career that is important to build a relationship with clients and their families . My clients become like my family. What makes my current clients family happy is that they know when I'm with their family they are good hands. The advice I was given by a current clients family was that I am very observant . What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to wake up in the morning and going to see my clients and talk with them also having a great feeling I helped them achieve their goals. I have strong feelings as long as my client can still do some things independently it is important to stand by them , let them still have their independence . I have a lot of patience and compassion with my clients and that's why my current clients families like me.

    Hello my name is Shaequa pronounced shaniqua. I believe I would be a great candidate to work with your loved ones. Simply because I love assisting people who cant completely do for themselves and being the person who they can depend on to make them feel as if they still belong also by promoting independence. I've worked in this field pretty much all my life having elderly family members and working in the field. I have been trained in many areas I have my cpr and first aid I have worked on the dementia long term and rehab units I have also done private duties in home
