DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM. DO NOT LET TAMARA BROST OF "MAKS A LOT" CLEAN FOR YOU OR BECOME A CAREGIVER FOR YOU OR A LOVED ONE! I hired Tamara Brost off of the St Charles employees advertising website, so I thought she was recommended by the employee who posted her ad. I neglected to get references or look into her background, which turned out to be a mistake. She told me about her 18 month old daughter passing away 5 months ago (which I think is true), and of her mom's death when Tamara was 15 years old, and how her family abandoned her and she ended up with an abusive boyfriend, Zachery Morgan, for 10 years, whom she was needing help getting away from. She claimed that he hit her in the stomach with a baseball bat and she was bleeding internally. All of this alarmed my family and me and we rallied to try to help her. We helped to move her out of her boyfriend's place in Prineville, and she stayed in my home for 2 weeks until we could find her a place in Saving Grace (which she refused), or her own apartment. My church was prepared to help her with the $1200 deposit, and I began taking her around to find an apartment and to garage sales to furnish it. She cleaned for me several times and for my niece's family as well. Then she helped to take care of my sister-in-law who has MS and is confined to a wheelchair. As it turned out, everywhere Tamara Brost went, money and prescription pain pills seemed to end up missing. We believe she probably stole bottles of Vicodin from 4 different people in our extended family, believe she was probably responsible for stealing a large sum of money from my 13 year old great niece's purse, and $130.00 out of a lady's purse who sold her a table at a garage sale, and $300 from my brother-in-law's wallet while she was caring for his wife with multiple sclerosis. She bought a high definition TV from my niece and begged to take it prior to paying for it, and now has moved back in with her boyfriend in Prineville and has not paid for the TV, nor "worked it off," as she promised to do. We are all very disappointed in Tamara and HAVE ALL FILED POLICE REPORTS.
