Gloria T.

I am a Navy Veteran. I received the Purple Heart for my efforts in Afghanistan. I've also received multiple Navy medals and achievements while serving in Iraq, Kuwait and here in the states. I have learned to be patient, compassionate, thorough, very dependable, trustworthy, honest and attentive. I am a wife and a mother of two beautiful daughters. Zoey is twelve and Makenna is ten. My husband is still in the Navy. He is a Submarine IDC (Independent Duty Corpsman) and he makes me proud everyday. I love my family and me working as a caregiver makes them proud as much as it makes me proud. I love being able to say I help people for a living.

Hi! After witnessing my mother's decline with dementia in an assisted living facility, I KNEW I could provide better care to the aging with more compassion and intuitiveness. I followed my heart to become a caregiver and took the 75 hour training required by Washington State to be a licensed Home Care Aid. I felt this would attest to my professionalism, commitment and integrity toward the care I could offer, and DO offer! I truly love my job. I am respectful, calm, attentive and a good communicator. Listening and understanding are important for everyone involved so I like to keep notes and communicate by phone regularly and often with family and others. This is in the best interest of the client-a loved one aging in their own home. Because of my experience I often have suggestions to help make things easier for the client to stay in their home more comfortably, safely and sometimes more fun! I'm very resourceful! I work well as a team member- whether it be with the family or as a member of a caregiving team for the client. I have a strong work ethic and great sense of humor (and the discernment to know when to apply it!).
