About Tamar

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! My name is Tamar (Tami) and I am from the country of Georgia, from which I have a MD degree. Prior to moving to the US, I practiced medicine for many years as a general practitioner. After coming to the US, I began working as a senior overnight caregiver and I cared for individuals with a variety of diseases including hear failure, dementia, cancer, etc. I then began working as a live-in caregiver for a woman who suffered late-stage Alzheimer's. I was with her, and her family, for 5 years, during which I was responsible for her care . I managed all of my patient care, medical and otherwise including: transportation, mobility, medication monitoring and administration, food preparation, bathing, as well as providing cognitive support and companionship as her memory continued to decline. I am loving, and compassionate caregiver with an in-depth knowledge of medicine from my time as a physician. I have my own car and drivers license.

Tami treated my Mom like her own mother, she was that caring. She was very knowledgeable about medical as well as personal care issues, so we had no problem putting our full trust in her in caring for Mom. She became part of the family and attended all family events with Mom. She was kind, respectful, loving and smart.
