Hi. My name is Tammy. I live in Hawthorne, CA and I've been a caregiver for 15 years. ​

How did you get into caregiving?
I became a caregiver to help people, and I've been helping them for 15 years to take care of people, and respect them, and do a very good job when we help them. ​

What advice would you provide to a new caregiver?
My response to a new caregiver - I will always tell them, "Always wash your hands before and after. Always help your friend. Always be alert. Be open-minded, doing a good job, and always pay attention. Always smile every day and respect them, and just help do a good job."
