About Tonja

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

It all started with taking care of my dad when he was diagnosed with cancer. I did it all from feeding him to bathing him to dressing him. Once I did this, I knew that I was meant for this type of work, so my first patient was a 84-year-old lady Whom I love with my whole heart, we became very good friends, came in her life that her children wanted her to come back home so I had to say goodbye since she has passed away. My next patient just lost her two weeks ago I started working with her when she was 94 and she passed at 96. She taught me a lot , we laughed a lot together. She became my friend also if everyone would just take the time to listen to the elderly, they have a lot of knowledge and are always ready to share their knowledge. I love my job it's not even really a job as far as I'm concerned, it's almost like it was created for me , I'm good at what I do

Tonja took fantastic care of my 95-year-old mother for several years as a friend and support giver. Mom lived in Florida and I am in Connecticut so it was a huge relief to know that I could call Tonja and she would do whatever I asked, whatever was needed. It is my pleasure to recommend her as a caregiver.
