For the past 9 years I have been taking care of a woman who had Alzheimer’s and breast cancer. At first I was mainly a companion, but as her conditions worsened, I became more of an aide. 3 years ago she became bedridden and needed complete care. I prepared food and fed her, bathed her, changed her diapers and dressed her. I also administered medications, cleaned the apartment and kept her comfortable, by changing her position. In the time she was in bed, she did not get a bedsore, I was always applying lotions and oil to her skin and changing her position to relieve pressure. When her breast cancer began to seep, I cleansed and dressed her wounds. I always treated her with respect. In her last two years, she could not speak, but because of our relationship, I could tell if she was hungry, in pain, or just wanted me near. With her passing, I am now available to minister to another person in the same way.

I like taking care of people and the client just need a little help to stay in their own home. I became a caregiver because other people trusted me with their love ones and they know that I would treated them like family. Being a caregiver give me a change to help the clients live independently in their own home where they are comfortable.

Hello my name is Tavia and I have been a Caregiver since 1998. I became a CNA because back in High School I went to various nursing homes and hospitals to volunteer to help the elderly and I enjoyed it. I love making a difference and treating people how I want to be treated. What I like most is building relationships and giving my client a great experience.
