About Tara

I always go above and beyond the call of duty to perform exceptional service. I am a kind, caring, compassionate person who is always worried about helping others and always put myself last. I love being in the medical field. I decided I wanted to work in this field in high school. MY step Brother is handicap and I love taking him places and doing things with him. I have worked with the mentally challenged for 8 years. I just recently received my CNA license. Taking care of others has always been a passion of mine. It is self gratifying when you feel a sense of accomplishment knowing you helped someone less fortunate then you are. I have worked with Autistics and Schizophrenics most of my adult life. I have worked in high behavior group homes. I have been beaten up and badgered. At the end of the day when all was said and done procedure was followed and I still showed up for work the following day. Even when things get tough I still stay strong. I am independent and have a work ethic like no other. I cook clean and complete all daily tasks. This is one of the jobs that my life wouldn't be complete without. Every day is a new adventure and I look forward to the ride.

    Being a caregiver is one of the good decisions of my life, since I cared for my mom till she passed, I found compassion in caring for people to feel better, which then again gives me certain type of happiness. The fact that I put smiles on the faces of people makes being a caregiver a pleasant one to be. The most greatest achievement I have obtained during my service is trust, and I am proud to say so, because without trust what is the purpose of being a caregiver. I am a 34yrs with kids , and lots of experience as a caregiver. I can say so because I have been in this business for 12 yrs, and I have numerous reference to provide if needed.

But as my childeren got older I wanted to care for the ederly , because they need help ,respect and most of all compassion. I have experience in all my skills prior to this job I have at the moment.
