About Tamika

I love providing home care services to those who are unable to do as much as they can without any help.  The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right.  I have always enjoyed helping people. I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients’ lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. I always give 100% and do the best I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. If I can add a smile or bring laughter to a client’s day, that means a lot to me.
