About Tammy

What makes me a good caregiver? I enjoy helping people when they need assistance. I am compassionate about others well being because it truly hurts me in my heart to see someone suffer and don't have the help they need. I am alert and do everything with a sense of urgency. I am organized and persistent. Why I became a caregiver? I started being a caregiver since I was 19 years of age. I started caring for a family member two children when they was placed with CPS. The parent who received temporary custody of the children needed help. So,I started caring for the children so their parent can work. And at that moment I knew I wanted to help people in any way that I can. I also cared for over a hundred children, some elderly people and disabled people. I still reach out to seniors citizens in different states just to talked to them and make them laugh. What do I like about being a caregiver? I like being a caregiver because I get the enjoyment of experience people from different cultures. And I love to tell stories and I enjoy hearing stories. What is a personal achievement I am proud of? I am proud of myself for being able to have a positive impact on others to give them hope and encouragement to keep pressing through their adversity.
