Tanisha Haythorne

Executive Director, All Ways Caring

Tanisha began her career as a Direct Service Provider (DSP)/caregiver in 1997. Tanisha’s love for people and natural skill in caregiving drove her to this field. At the early age of 12, she would watch over her 96-year-old great grandmother when her great aunt was unavailable. She also learned how to be a caregiver by watching her mother, who adopted four of her eight siblings. A year after beginning as a DSP, she was promoted to an office assistant, and in 2006, she was promoted to a Client Service Supervisor. She realized she had a knack of matching clients with caregivers who would often stay together beyond homecare and until the end of life. Tanisha’s supervisor noticed her innate leadership skills when all her peers began looking to her for advice.

In 2008, she became a Branch Manager. Only five months passed until she was promoted again as an Executive Director, where she took on an entire region instead of just a single branch. Throughout her journey, she has enjoyed watching her staff grow in their skills and having the opportunity to promote them as positions become available.
