I'm a CNA/HHA. I have 5 years of Home Healthcare experience. I was considered a live-in, my client that had ALS / Lou Gehrig's disease. I was paid through CDS in Texas but my client was my boss. I am a patient and reliable mother of 3 young "adults". My client was 35. He fought ALS for over 10 years. His life/needs came first before my own. He was bedridden. The last 2+ years he was on a breathing assist machine and had 2x daily/as needed, cough/respiratory therapy. I managed doctors/nurse visits, medications and assisted in all daily living needs. Ordered supplies as needed, organized them for easy retrieval and use. Care provided daily for g-tube, colostomy/stoma bag, saliva/mucus removable from mouth and trach. Stretching and mobility exercises. My hope is that my level of care, experience and detail-oriented, and patience would provide your loved one with the care and support they need. I have a full detailed resume and can provide and/or references on request if needed.

    I hired Tamara for help with self-care, and I have only positive things to say about her. She arrived exactly on time and kept me apprised of her arrival status. Once she was on-site, Tamara was very personable and eager to help in any way possible. I was extremely happy with my experience with Tamara and definitely would work with her again!
