About Tamaka

1. I became a CNA/Caregiver because I wanted to care for others. I wanted to help those that was not getting the care they so deserved. 2.What I like most about being a Caregiver is the interaction that I have with my clients/patients. 3.The most personal achievement I'm proud of is me going back to school. I have been wanting to do for a while and now I am doing it. 4.I am a 39 year old female that has worked as a CNA for over eighteen years now, I am now a student that's studying Medical Billing & Coding. I wanted to stay in the Healthcare field, I am single with no children hopefully oneday all of that will change but for now I will work and finish school. I am the oldest out of three I lost my baby brother on last year to a massive stroke so now it's just me and my sister and my nieces and nephew. I have worked in many areas of my CNA/Caregiver career such as In Home Healthcare, Nursing Staffing, Private Duty/Sitter, Long Term Care, and Hospital's.
