I have cared for adults and the elderly with special needs both in hospice and critical care, as well as assisted with necessary details covering all aspects of their lives. I am medically trained in personal medical hygiene, anti-microbial house cleaning, providing secure transportation, managing finances, creation of a normal social atmosphere, as well as carrying out one's final wishes. I believe all patients have the right to live their lives to the fullest quality possible. I worked for an internal medicine doctor, which gave me opportunities to work with handicapped patients. I also worked with a private cerebral palsy patient and am familiar with Frazier Water Protocol and seizure disorders. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. As a professionally trained medical assistant, I can assist with insurance claims, medical forms, and calls for doctor's visits. I am blessed with lots of patience and empathy. My clients tell me they appreciate my constant smile and the ability and desire to do more than what was expected of me. All my clients became my good friends.

    Tammy is easy to work with and very responsive. Keeps us informed when she observes changes in condition, offers suggestions on how we might approach a change in care, and is very thorough and kind in how she handles our aging folks.
