About Tamika

I became a caregiver because I generally like to care and help people. I have been a caregiver for over 15 years. Each person that I have cared for, I have treated them with the same amount of love and respect that I would give to myself . What I like most about being a caregiver is that I am able to brighten my patients day and help them to be comfortable and meet their needs. One of my personal achievement that I am proud of is becoming a wife and a mother. I have three beautiful children which I love and adore. I love to hang out with my kids, bring them to the park, the movies , and take family vacations together. I like to cook, and host dinners for my family and friends. I love to serve in different ways. Some examples are volunteering at my child's school and being a part of the community service association of my church.
