About Tamara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I'm from Colorado & new to Iowa. My sons live in Clear Lake with my 2 adorable granddaughters. I have been an organizer & caregiver my entire life with relationships being very important to me. I made it professional 12 years ago. I've cared for those with ALS, cancer, dementia & stroke victims. Along with being a home family partner, I facilitate Restorative Justice Conferences online part-time. You will find that my years in the Alternative Dispute Resolution field have made me an excellent communicator & problem solver. Being a single working mom forced me to acquire home repair skills & become savvy with time management. Each client is special to me. I'll never forget, how Dan would call me his Executive Assistant for the first three years. He was diagnosed with ALS. I organized his life & supported his wife. In the last two years of his life, my title changed to a caregiver. I took him for drives, walks, speech therapy, read to him & cared for him. Looking for my next "Dan".

We originally hired Tamara to clean our home in 2015. Through the years she became like family. Tamara was always dependable with the most positive attitude. In 2020 my husband had a stroke. I knew Tamara did care-giving too and couldn't imagine anyone better to be on the care team. We were not disappointed. She helped with speech therapy, bathing, medication, meal prep, and so much more. She is starting a life in Iowa and I know a family will be fortunate to have found her as we were. Thank you Tamara for all your love and support.
