About Latanya

I started taking care of the elderly when I was 17 and I am now 45. I have worked in the medical field my whole life. It is all I want to do. I love to take care of other people. Over the last 28 years I have dealt with many types of people and have never met a stranger or a problem that I could not deal with. I am a Certified Medication Aide as well as a Certified Nurse Aide. They say when you love what you do at work that you never really worked at all. That is me.

    My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was 17. As an only girl in a family of five boys I took on the responsibility of caring for her until her death later that year. Four years later I gave birth to a son with a bleeding disorder. I took training to care for him at home when he was seven, I cared for giving him his medication which was done by way of IV. I became his advocate, for his treatment, medication, dealing with drug companies, as well as at the hospital. I have worked with individuals with brain injuries, helping them to work towards independency if possible. I love working with people and love to make them feel important.
