Hiring Manager - Tammy

I have had the pleasure of interviewing many internationally trained nurses.

It is so wonderful to find out that many of them have spent a great deal of time during their studies caring for the elderly.  Some have worked in outreach programs caring for seniors in small, rural communities, in countries where equipment and supplies are scarce. They have described situations where they have had to use items their patient had at hand in their homes to “McIver” (create) their own equipment, even a bed lift!

These highly skilled nurses come to Homecare West excited to understand Canadian nursing, in Vancouver.  Their thoughtfulness, sensitivity and desire to do a great job truly inspires me.

Homecare West

Who Are We & How Did We Get Here?

Homecare West was founded by Tammy Watson, July 2004. At that time Tammy was a single mom who had recently lost both of her young senior parents. From this experience she expanded her understanding of what it’s like to care for a parent at home. “I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to bring my personal experience into many conversations I have with families needing care for their parents”.

Tammy has worked most of her life with seniors, starting with her first job as a kitchen helper in a small intermediate care centre in the Fraser Valley.

“My favorite resident, Nanny Higgins taught me to fold tea towels quite properly”.  “Nanny Higgins had Alzheimer’s disease, she didn’t remember my name or that she had already taught me how to fold, but she sparkled when she laughed and when she winked at me as she left the kitchen, I felt we shared a special secret; I was 16 years old”.

After many years and 100’s of properly folded tea towels, Homecare West was born.

An Interview With

Sofia

Sofia was one of our longest standing senior caregivers. After 15 years with us Sofia is enjoying retirement and we wish her all the best! 

Why did you first apply at Homecare West?

I met someone on the bus that worked for HCW and she said it was a good company and I should apply so I did!

Why did you stay working with Homecare West for so long?

The number 1 reason is trust.  It worked both ways, I trusted them and they trusted me.

How many years have you worked with Homecare West?

15 years, since 2006

What is your favorite thing you do with your client?

My first client was very challenging but I guess I passed the test because I continued to work for 15 years and enjoyed them all.

Hi Tammy, Thank you so much for everything.You helped me so much for the past 15 years. Home Care West had a special place in my 💓 and will be there forever. Wherever I go I will always think of you as a special person in my whole life. I've learned a lot from you. I will always cherish our memories together as a team, a best friend , my sister and my mom here in Vancouver.A million of thanks to all of you at HCW. I will surely miss each and everyone of you .It hurts to say goodbye from the company, the staff and the management and to all my co worker that I work with but my life has to go on and don't know what God's plan for me as I go along with this journey as a senior citizen of Vancouver.Hopefully someday when my health and mind permits I will do some volunteer job with the elderly. If I'm ready I will let you know. Stay safe and God Bless you always. Much love,
