About Temeka

What made me a great caregiver is being there for people. I am very compassionate and I have a great desire to help others. I am dedicated to be there and face anything that may come my way, the good or the bad. Working as a caregiver, it is very important to stay positive and have a positive attitude around patients. Patients need someone who is going to lift them up and make their day. Growing up I had the opportunity to take care of my aunt who was very ill and immobile. I was able to tend to her and be there for her and that was what influenced me to become a nurse and want to have that experience with others! My few years of working as a caregiver, I find being there for your patients and keeping a smile on their face, knowing you've done the best you can to help or make them happy is what I enjoy the most. When they see you coming in on shift to be there with them and they're smiling ear to ear because they know they're in good hands is what keeps me going . A personal achievement I am proud of is being able to open up more to patients and allow them to be open because sometimes that's all someone needs is someone to be there for them and I am happy that I am able to have that opportunity and willing to be there and have a listening ear.

I was too young to remember the story but my aunt says when I was 4 years old, that I comforted and reassured her when she was crying over a breakup with her boyfriend. I believe this was the beginning of my journey to care for others. I majored in Social Work and have had a wonderful 27 year career of working with children, adolescents and the aging. I have worked at UVA hospital where I gained insight into the importance of maintaining good health and how devastating a disease or accident is on one's health and life. I have worked for department of social services and assisted the aging with receiving the services needed to remain in their home or to move into a facility. At this time, I am doing "hands on" care in people's home to assist them with various activities of daily living. My mother was bedridden for many years and I was one of her primary caregivers. I know the burden on family when caring for a loved one and the importance of support. My grandfather lived to be 96 and I was there for him to assist with shopping, meal prep, housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation. I cherish the times that I spent with my mother and grandfather caring for them. I also cherish the support I received from others.
