Caregiver Highlight Story:

Tasha Jones

For November, we are proud to recognize Tasha Jones as our Caregiver of the Month. Tasha has been a long standing caregiver and an essential part of our team here at Peace at Homecare. She consistently goes above and beyond, showing not only excellence in her caregiving but also compassion that resonates deeply with her clients. One client expressed, “I cannot say enough positive things about her.” Her dedication to her clients and positive spirit truly set her apart.

She was inspired to join Peace at Homecare because of what the company stands for. She loves providing care to those in need while helping them maintain their independence and stay in the comfort of their own homes. This shows a testament to her character, as she values and respects her clients independence and quality of life.

Upon reaching out to one of her clients, who has been with her for about three and a half years, her kindness and dedication were praised time and again. He shared, “She has been wonderful,” adding, “My life would be completely different without her.” He expressed genuine gratitude for Tasha’s work, even saying, “I think of her as my third daughter.” His heartfelt words highlight the strong bond they've built over the years.

Outside of work, Tasha enjoys watching football games and going fishing. She loves all types of music, even what her kids listen to, proudly embracing her role as a “cool mom.” Her ideal vacation spot would be anywhere by the water, where she can enjoy a long walk with her kids and dog.

We're grateful for Tasha and the lasting impact she has made on her clients and our team. This month, we’re proud to celebrate her dedication and care.

Caregiver Highlight Story:

Chris White

This October, we are excited to shine a spotlight on one of our most dedicated and loyal caregivers, Chris White. Since the early days of Peace at Homecare, Chris has been an integral part of our team, embodying the values of compassion, commitment, and excellence that define our mission. His journey with us began right at the inception of Peace at Homecare, and throughout the years, his unwavering dedication has left a lasting impact on both his clients and colleagues.

Chris’s caregiving career began well before he joined Peace at Homecare. For years, he worked independently, providing home care services on his own. When Moira launched Peace at Homecare, Chris was eager to be a part of it. After working independently, he welcomed the opportunity to join a team, appreciating the sense of community and support that comes with it.

When we reached out to one of his client’s family regarding his Caregiver of the Month achievement, they were eager to share their appreciation and express how deserving he is of this recognition. One family member shared: "I could write a book about the quality care he provided for my mom and how much it helped her and our family!" Chris cared for their mother for over four years after she had suffered a stroke, which required 24-hour care. They went on to explain: "Chris managed to provide stability, activity, humor, and joy in my mom’s life at a time when her life had become very challenging. He took my mom on daily outings as much as possible. When she was up for it, he took her to the zoo, the NY State Fair, Green Lakes, out to lunch, to kids' sporting events, and even a family wedding at Lake Ontario. When she was feeling less able, he would simply take her out for a drive." The family expressed how Chris became more than just a caregiver—he became a part of their family. They said: "We did not have to worry about Mom when Chris was caring for her. We knew she was safe, cared for, and loved. We can’t thank him enough for the care he provided to my mom—he certainly deserves to be celebrated!"

In his free time, Chris enjoys staying active with workouts, cooking, and spending quality time with his family. He loves traveling, especially to the Caribbean and Cape Cod, and always makes sure to spend at least one week by the ocean each year. When he's not outdoors, Chris is a fan of classic films, with The Shawshank Redemption being a favorite.

We are truly honored to celebrate Chris as our Caregiver of the Month. His dedication, kindness, and tireless efforts make a world of difference to our clients and our team. Chris, thank you for the care and compassion you bring to your work each and every day!

Caregiver Highlight Story:

Tanisha Trapps

For the month of September, we are proud to recognize Tanisha Trapps as our Caregiver of the Month. Tanisha was the unanimous choice, as she has consistently demonstrated our company’s core values of compassion and reliability. She is an excellent communicator who genuinely cares about her clients, and treats everyone around her with respect. Dedicated and highly dependable, Tanisha has been a valued member of our team for the past three years. Her clients described her by saying, “She is extremely reliable, I can depend on her to be there.” We are deeply grateful for the work ethic and kindness she brings to our team.

Her path to Peace at Homecare is truly unique and a testament to her character. Her mother, Angela used to work with the company originally. She then moved down south, while she was working with a client by the name of Larry at the time. Larry’s daughter was so fond of Angela that she frequently asked her to return, even after she had moved away. Angela was unable to return as she was caring for her sister, who was recovering from back surgery.

This situation motivated Tanisha to step in, following in her mother’s footsteps to ensure that Larry received the same compassionate care. Her deep concern for Larry and her commitment to following in her mother’s footsteps led her to join Peace at Homecare, where she has been an invaluable member of our team ever since. Her story and path to joining our team is reflective of Tanisha’s kind heart and dedication to others.

Outside of work, Tanisha is a devoted mother to her four-year-old son. She says being a mom keeps her busy, but when she does have free time, she enjoys a variety of hobbies. These include fishing, listening to music, traveling, cooking new recipes, and just being in nature. She listens to just about every genre of music, except for hard rock and heavy metal.
Tanisha’s dream vacation always involves the warm weather. She went on an eight day cruise with her family and son, visiting Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and Grand Turk—a trip described to be very memorable. In her downtime, Tanisha also enjoys watching any TV series that has to do with investigation. She noted one of her all time favorite movies is Coming to America.

We are honored to celebrate Tanisha this month. Her dependability and thoughtfulness make her an outstanding caregiver and an easy choice for this recognition.

Amy Karp

We are thrilled to recognize Amy Karp as our caregiver of the month for August. Each month, our administrative team selects a caregiver who embodies outstanding dedication and compassion, and this August, Amy Karp has been chosen as our exemplary representative.

Amy demonstrates remarkable dedication to her clients, consistently going above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. She often uses her free time to check in on clients and has provided support during crises. Her unwavering compassion and commitment make her a standout caregiver.

When reaching out to her clients' family members, they were excited to hear about Amy’s recognition. The family shared, “Amy has been not just a caregiver but also a valued companion for Howie.” Other family members also added, “Knowing and trusting Amy made it easier for Dad to accept the additional caregiving that he needs now.”

Amy's caregiving journey began at Saint Joes. Around that time, she had crossed paths with Moira as they had shared a common client. Later, she was able to reconnect with Moira thus embarking on her journey at Peace at Homecare in 2019.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys spending time with her friends and family. Her ideal weekend would be spent kayaking and camping in Alex Bay. Amy’s go to music choice is music of the 70s to the 90s and her top vacation spots include Hawaii and the Caribbean.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Amy. Thank you for your commitment to providing clients with excellent and supportive care.

Cheryl Johnson

We are proud to honor Cheryl Johnson as our first Caregiver Highlight. Each month, our administrative staff selects a caregiver who exemplifies exceptional dedication and compassion, and this month, Cheryl was unanimously chosen.

Cheryl has been a valued member of Peace at Homecare for over two years, consistently demonstrating hard work and a kind heart. Her contributions do not go unnoticed. One of her clients shared, “I love her. I didn’t have to ask her to do anything, and more importantly, she makes me laugh.”

Outside of her professional commitments, Cheryl enjoys spending time with her grandson and children. Her journey to Peace at Homecare was inspired by her extensive background in caregiving. Having worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) years ago, she later transitioned to becoming a private home care aide. It was through a friend's recommendation that she discovered Peace at Homecare, and she has been a dedicated member of our team ever since.

Her perfect weekend is characterized by relaxing on the beach. Cheryl is an avid fan of music, with B.B. King being her favorite musician.
