Tina K
PROFESSIONAL CAREGIVER
Tina has been a full-time caregiver with Private Home Care since 2017. For Tina, being a caregiver is more than just a job - it's a calling that comes from the soul. She became a caregiver because she wanted to work with people who need help and make a positive difference in their lives. Tina is deeply passionate about her work as a caregiver, and it shows in the exceptional care and support she provides to her clients.
One of the things that sets Tina apart as a caregiver is her listening skills. She is one of the best listeners you'll ever meet and takes note of all the details that go into taking care of her clients. She always asks for clarification if something isn't clear, and she is a meticulous notetaker, ensuring that she has all the information she needs to provide the best possible care to her clients.
Tina is also committed to maintaining the highest level of professionalism and knowledge in her field. She does this primarily by taking advantage of training opportunities, attending webinars and lectures on topics related to aging adults, and keeping her professional certifications up to date. For example, Tina holds a CNA certification, which requires her to stay current with the latest caregiving techniques and best practices.
"I love home care because it allows people to receive the care they need in the comfort of their own home on their own terms. This can be the most comfortable option. I’m here to support whatever path my clients have chosen.”
By investing in her own professional development and listening to what her clients require, Tina is able to provide the best possible care and support. She is always looking for ways to improve her skills and stay ahead of the curve, which helps her deliver exceptional care to her clients and make a positive difference in their lives. Tina's commitment to learning and growth is just one of the many things that set her apart as a caregiver.
