Anchorage Office

Hello! My name is Tuvalu Tubbie Tauanuu, and I’m incredibly honored to be part of TLC Care Services once again. Returning to TLC feels like coming home—a place where I can continue to live out my passion for serving others and making a real difference in people’s lives. TLC gives me a deep sense of purpose, especially in helping care for the elderly and those in need of compassion and support.

I bring with me a strong and well-rounded professional background that spans over several industries. I’ve held leadership roles in hospitality management, where I learned the value of creating warm, welcoming experiences for every guest. I also have a solid foundation in financial services, with experience in accounting and electronic services within the federal credit union sector, where precision, confidentiality, and customer care were essential. Additionally, I’ve managed day spas and salons, which taught me how to balance operations with high-level customer service and team coordination.

Throughout all these roles, one theme has remained constant: my commitment to excellent customer service. Whether assisting a client, mentoring a team member, or resolving an issue, I always lead with empathy, professionalism, and a solutions-focused mindset. I believe in creating positive experiences and building strong, lasting relationships with both clients and team members.

As a long-time Alaskan resident since 1984, I take great pride in being part of this beautiful and resilient community. Alaska is home, and it’s important to me to contribute in a way that strengthens our support networks, especially for our seniors and those needing personalized care.

In my role at TLC, I am not only focused on delivering outstanding service to our clients, but I am also here to be a resource and support system for our caregivers. I understand the challenges they face in the field, and I’m committed to making sure they have the tools, information, and support they need to do their jobs with confidence and compassion. When our caregivers are empowered and well-equipped, the care we provide becomes truly exceptional.

I’m proud to stand with Team Purple, and I look forward to growing with TLC while continuing to uplift those around me. #IAMTEAMPURPLE!

Hi, my name is Terri. Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. In my early 20s, I began working as an in-home caregiver, which allowed me to care for others in a meaningful way. After becoming a young mom, I decided to change career paths and pursued my other passion—sewing. I’ve been a seamstress and tailor for many years and now proudly run my own business, Terri’s Alterations. I truly love being part of people’s special moments and seeing the joy on their faces when they feel their best.

In 2016, my life took a major turn when I suffered cardiac arrest. For a time, no one knew if I would wake up. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and now live each day with a defibrillator. That experience reminded me how precious life is—and how everything can change in an instant.

Outside of work, I spend my time sewing, taking my boys to the lake, barbecuing, and camping. I focus on creating lasting memories with my kids, so they’ll always carry a part of me with them.

I was given the opportunity to join TLC as the HR Manager and recently transitioned into the role of Client Coordinator. I’m incredibly thankful to be part of TLC Care Services and proud to represent Team Purple. #IAMTEAMPURPLE!

I’m Lone, proud member of the Purple Team here in Anchorage, AK. As the Front Desk Scheduler at TLC, I handle the coordination of client and employee schedules. My role also involves conducting interviews and managing the onboarding and processing of new hires. With over 20 years of experience as a customer service representative and more than 15 years of caregiving experience, I bring a wealth of expertise to the team.

Beyond work, I find joy in reading, singing, fishing, and spending quality time with my grandbabies. Being an outdoors person, I love planting flowers and taking a refreshing swim when the summer heat kicks in. Joining the TLC family has filled me with happiness and gratitude, and I’m thrilled to be part of this fantastic team. #IAMTEAMPURPLE!

My name is Ritchel—a foodie, travel enthusiast, and proud solo parent. When I’m not exploring new culinary delights, I’m navigating the exciting world of parenting solo. Volunteering at WEAVERS, a nonprofit women’s group, adds a meaningful touch to my journey, and I find immense satisfaction in contributing to the empowerment of others.

I thrive on challenges and consider myself a proactive self-starter. Whether it’s embracing the chaos of a fast-paced environment or championing the power of teamwork, I’m all in. Currently, as the Executive Administrative Assistant at TLC Care Services, I get to wear many hats. From working directly with executives to overseeing the incredible Ninja team, it’s a dynamic role that keeps me on my toes.

What I absolutely love about TLC Care Services is our commitment to diversity. It’s not just about embracing differences; it’s about creating an environment where varied backgrounds, cultures, and experiences are not just accepted but celebrated. It’s this inclusive vibe that makes our workplace truly remarkable.

Being part of this fantastic team fills me with a deep sense of honor and gratitude. I’m extending an invitation to join me in celebrating our collective spirit with the energetic chants of #IamTeamNinja and #IAMTEAMPURPLE!

At 23, I love putting my heart into whatever I do, no matter the job. I’ve gone through lots of stuff, some not-so-great, and some incredible things. I’m grateful to God for all those experiences because they taught me to be tough and stand up for myself. Each twist and turn in life became a lesson, making me stronger and ready to face whatever came my way.

Being part of this company has shown me how crucial it is to be patient and kind to everyone I meet. Understanding the value of respecting each person has become a big lesson for me. It’s not just a job. It’s a fulfilling journey, especially when I realize that our work is making a difference in the lives of those who really need help. Helping others is not just a task; it’s a humble experience that brings my work a sense of purpose and satisfaction.

My name is Merry and my coworkers call me that because it best describes my personality, since I’m a cheerful person. I work as a virtual lead specialist, assisting the client care coordinator in gathering potential prospect information so that caregivers will be given more opportunities. I help TLC and Denali Care Services with marketing and social media management by creating brochures and other materials, as well as posting content about our services and caregiver motivations on various social media platforms (like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok).

TLC and Denali Care Services have been a blessing to me since I am the sole provider for my two children; they allow me to work from home while keeping an eye on them. I enjoy baking as a hobby, and my family enjoys my cakes, so I have an online cake business. My job is teaching me how to be more skilled and goal-oriented.

I feel grateful to be a part of such an incredible team!
