About Latonya

Im 33 years old and every since i was 14years old i have been taking care of someone. I have provided child care for family members as well as outside of the family. Im very compassionate and love taking care of people. I lost my father in jan 29th 2009 to cancer during that time i took care of him, i monitored his oxygen levels, despensed medications, changed tubes, cleaned tubes, bathed him, prepared meals that were consistant to the strict diet he was on. I also took care of my mother who had a stroke which left her temporarily paralized on one side i had to do daily exercise with her to help regain the use of the side effected. I helped her with her speech made and transported her to doctor appointments. I love taking care of people because i feel its my way of giving back and even if i cant give as much as i would like just a little goes a long way. I am aware of cpr procedures but am not certified. I have experience in medical assisting took a semester of the course in college.

So writing about myself is a little weird, but let me start by saying this is my God calling. I have left taking care of people and tried different things but nothing fulfills me like caring for other people in their time of need. I am bubbly, and very knowledgeable in job.

First there is God, with God you can become a caregiver, he put love in your heart for people, all people.i have 5 children plus 3 step children and 29 grandchildren all together a lot of love going on. There are a lot of people out there that need a lot of taking care of and they need someone that cares. What I like about being a caregiver is the love that you get in return, not all the time in difficult cases but you know it's there. My personal achievement is when I went to Miller-Motte to become a phlebotomist while working a full time and part time job I look back now and wonder how I made it.
