About Tawnya

eternalyouth4all@gmail.com I have worked as a Private Home Health Care Provider for Seniors for over 20yrs. I worked for Dave Robinson who was the Supervisor for Senior Citizens Health Care in Olympia for many years. My Specialty is with Dementia/Alzheimer patients. I have provided companionship, cooking and light housework, plus shopping. I have found that giving patients \\"Special Quality\\" time in the comfort of their home or natural surroundings is of the Greatest Importance to Seniors who are faced with the challenges of Dementia/Alzheimer. I have worked with increasing their abilities of Brain Function through artwork, reading to them, chair exercises, singing their favorite songs and playing games. No matter what stage of Dementia they are in I love to encourage calm, peaceful, and fun interaction. I am open to providing home health care for those who have other needs as well. I have cared for those with Parkinson's, Strokes, and Quadriplegics. I have several references if needed. I am ready and available to work, anywhere from 48 to 72 hrs a week, as a live in private health care provider.

I was told I could not help because I was not a caregiver. I helped her on my break; she thank me the next day.I put my two weeks in and applied as a care provider.It makes me happy then I can help residents with there activities of daily living; providing mental and physical stimulation.

My favorite part of being a caregiver is developing close relationships with the people I'm assisting. I love getting to know each individual and getting to support them in any way I can. I have been told I'm hardworking, kind, calm, patient, and dependable. I have experience assisting people with a wide range of needs and medical conditions. I'm currently in school (pre-nursing), and I'm looking for part-time caregiving work. Send me a message if you'd like to talk more!
