Tashauna’s Bio
Hello sittercity family!
my name is Tashauna, and I have 13+ years of experience providing care in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and private homes. I’m CPR certified and have completed Patient Care Training (PCT).
I’m currently studying Psychology to better understand how the brain works, especially in relation to aging, memory, behavior, and emotional regulation. This helps me approach care with greater patience and understanding, particularly when working with clients facing memory loss, depression, or cognitive challenges. Alongside that, I’m also studying Sociology and Social Work, which teaches me how to recognize the emotional and social needs of older adults and their families. I’ve learned how to support not only the individual client but also how to work with families who may need extra emotional guidance and communication during difficult transitions. This education strengthens my ability to bring compassion, insight, and calm into every care situation.
I also have experience supporting ambulatory clients, clients with Parkinson’s, and those living with Alzheimer’s. In addition, I have worked as a physical therapy aid, helping clients with gentle rehab routines and mobility-focused activities to promote strength and confidence. I also provide activity aid services to help keep the mind stimulated and alert. I’m experienced in providing companionship, dementia care, brain stimulation, emotional support, and encouragement through daily routines. I also help clients stay active and engaged with light exercise, conversation, and meaningful activities.
Here are the services I offer:
• Housekeeping
• Administering medication

Reviews
Tashauna, was such a lovely lady to work with my twins loved her. She also had twins in her family. She had twin brothers, so that was a plus on her experience side. She was very dependable trustworthy, and we were glad to have her a part of our family.
I had the pleasure of hiring Tashanna to help care for my children, and she quickly became so much more than just a babysitter. When my kids went off to high school, she also stepped in to care for my mother until her passing. As a caregiver and patient care technician, she showed compassion, patience, and dedication in everything she did.
Tashanna was truly a blessing in our lives. She is sweet, dependable, and a true family person. My daughters absolutely loved her, and she never limited herself to just one task. She helped with anything that needed to be done, always with a kind heart and without hesitation. I am deeply grateful for all she has done for my family.
