I have volunteered at assisted living facilities and nursing homes since I was a teenager. I love working with the elderly and being there to make them feel that they are special, important and needed. I believe that listening to their stories is a treat I worked with my grandmother for a decade until her care became completely under the care of skilled medical providers where I completely handled a 10, 000 sq ft estate as I prepared it both for daily living and for her eventual passing. I ran errands, kept her socializing with her friends, social clubs/bridge clubs, grocery shopping, etc.

1st Tara should be running a corporation as she is a master consultant- it's ridiculous 5 yr old duplicate reviews by a fake person can't be deleted. So judge this. My teens and husband found Tara on here as a Mom replacement. My surprise surprise for 8 weeks due to impending cancer surgery. Tara is every woman's nightmare at first glance! But she's a gem. I had no cleaner, an all work hubby, busy teens and no nurse but a list of volunteers for some meals, carpools, but nothing organized. After 30 minutes any reservations were gone- Tara, twice a cancer survivor and empty nest single mom and actual MS in Org Mgt took my input then synced a calendar with mine. Finally, scanned every note, email, volunteer, list et al and created a all encompassing plan- activities separated by person w text reminders and attached lists. She included all errands, dog, daily house, laundry, carpool, my needs and scheduled a succinct 2-4 hour blocks 6 days a week for her tasks. Exceptional!
