I am naturally caring and compassionate person; So doing just so will give me sense of accomplishment that I am doing something good. A personal achievement for me was when one of the toughest person I am taking care of stated that I just made him feel important and apologizes for being mean and asked me to take care of him from that day on. And when I simply cover them with blanket while sleeping and says to you " Your such a sweet person and Thank you for taking care of me every night ". And that feeling of rewardness when simply you put a smile and genuine laugh when they see you. That is an accomplishments for me, at the end of the day, I go to sleep smilling, thinking I just made someone's day. I am hardworking, caring, compassionate, patient, understanding, dependable, reliable and flexible.

Hello! My name is Tia. I have been in the caregiving, and healthcare industry for over 15 years. I got into the field by recognizing a need that I could bring to seniors, and it became a passion that I have enjoyed ever since. As the years passed, I wanted to take my skills to the next level. I enrolled in pre-requisites for nursing, and completed my AS with the goal of getting into the nursing program to become an RN/BSN. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant, have current CPR certification and TB clearance. I have extensive Alzheimer's and dementia care experience, as well as hospice and end of life palliative care experience. I have excellent communication skills and work well in utilizing various means of technology to document the care and status of my clients. I recognize the importance of maintaining the safest and most dignified environment possible for people as they enter a time in life when care is necessary, and feel honored to be able to be part of each person's story that I encounter.

It all started with my first nanny job. I was 19 a young mother of 1 and introduced to a family who I still work pt for 16 years later. There were gaps in my employment with them due to changes in all our lives over the years. In the first break I started working as a caregiver in a care home. After a few months I came to the conclusion it just wasn't the environment for me. I tried a few other jobs but I was always drawn to help people. In 2009 I became my grandmother's ft In home caregiver. I then realized others needed help in their homes also. At some points I had 3-4 clients throughout the day. I have done it all...cooking, cleaning, shopping, transportation, errands, appointments, I can even mow the lawn if needed. I have worked my schedule to care for kids early morning hours providing care and transportation. I usually work late mornings and afternoons with seniors. I am honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I care for all my clients as if they were my own family.
