About Tekna

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello my name is Tekina. Ive worked in healthcare 16 years I hold an interest in a senior care position. I was a manager over 10 residential locations , that consists of four individuals at minimum . I work with seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's, including developmental disabilities and psychological disabilities; causing me to have an advanced level of patience. I have a professional level of observation and reporting. Residents are important to me. I have a grandfather who had Alzheimer's. I cared for him for three years until he passed. I also provided care for my grandmother who suffers from dementia she moved due to the cold weather unfortunately. I completed a certified nursing program. I am well versed in medical terminology. I have been well trained and certified in CPR and First Aid. I am trained in Aed usage as well I pay close attention to detail. I was gainfully employed with a behavioral center for 7 years . I have worked in hospice care for five years.

Tekna is a great caregiver! She is very thorough and very personable. If our financial situation had been different, we would’ve kept her full time and then some! She is never late and really tries to go above and beyond.
