About Natasha

I opened my home childcare business after my second child was born. I quickly realized I had discovered my passion so I tried my hand at Senior care. I lost both my parents at an early age and wanted to include seniors in my circle so I worked 4 years part- time as a caregiver for a non-medical Senior Care company. I was later promoted to a full-time position as the evening Staffing Coordinator. In this position I assessed the needs of seniors, paired them with caregivers and managed their schedules. I loved helping families find solutions to the care needs of their loved ones. What I like most about care giving is knowing that what I do directly impacts my clients quality of life. It is gratifying to help the elderly remain independent. I love to listen to their life stories and to know that I am helping them maintain their dignity. I want my clients to see aging as a blessing because I believe that a long life is a gift to be celebrated. If I can bring joy into the life of a senior then I have answered my calling. I am personally proud of growing my childcare business from 2 to 14 children based on word of mouth marketing. It started as a way to be home with my own two children and morphed into a thriving business that sustained my family over a twelve year period. I realized that a corporate career was no longer for me. I am a caregiver at heart and plan to spend the rest of my career serving the Senior population.

I became a caregiver because I needed a job then I can't stop being one because I loved it, I love helping others and making their life easier. Being a caregiver is one of my passion, I love making difference in peoples lives, I go home happy because I did something for the person in need which made them, smile, comfortable, satisfied and at the end of the day send me home blessed. I'm dependable, compassionate, honest and caring person. What makes me think and believe that I'm a great caregiver is that everyone of my patient called me "my angle" and this is because I treat everyone of them as they were my own, I don't leave anything that can be done today for tomorrow because we may not have tomorrow and I don't want to live with guilty consciousness for the rest of my life, therefore I provide all the assistance the patient needs right then when he/she needs it, not tomorrow.

What attracted me the most about this profession was how much joy and comfort I could bring into the lives of others. To see the patients I'm caring for happy and feeling cared for is truly an amazing feeling. The joy that you get from making someone else happy is truly irreplaceable. This is why I love doing what I do.
