My name is Tiphaine. I am 49 years old, Swiss of French origin, and have lived in Crassier for fifteen years. Since 2021, I have been providing in-home care for seniors in the Nyon and Terre Sainte regions. What I bring to this work is not the result of a single training or qualification — it is the fruit of an entire life, shaped by many different disciplines that all, in the end, point in the same direction.

I grew up with music: piano and music theory were part of my life for eleven years at the conservatory, starting at age five. I then studied literature—preparatory classes at La Bruyère High School in Versailles—followed by visual arts at the Olivier de Serres School, one of France’s top schools for applied arts. Those years gave me something that professional training doesn’t: an eye for beauty, a sensitivity to it, and a certain way of inhabiting space and interacting with others with care.

Auteure de l’ouvrage « L’art de se nourrir avec l’Ayurvéda » (Éd. Courrier du Livre).

Later, I studied Ayurvedic medicine—nutrition, body care, and overall well-being—and published *The Art of Eating with Ayurveda* through Éditions du Courrier du Livre. Ayurveda taught me to care for people holistically: what we eat, how we care for the body, the atmosphere of a home, the way we speak to someone—everything is connected, everything matters.

I then led therapeutic education groups for patients and caregivers dealing with diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s, and inflammatory diseases, for the Diabète Vaud association. This experience taught me to acknowledge the real limitations of those I support—and to deeply understand the situation of caregiving families, their concerns, their fatigue, and their need for trust.

Since 2025, I have been volunteering as an end-of-life companion at the Maison de Tara, a palliative care home in Chêne-Bougeries. It is there that I continue to learn what it truly means to be present—without an agenda, without needing to perform—giving full attention to what is happening in the moment, alongside people in great vulnerability.

This path is part of a longer spiritual journey, nourished by years of teaching and practice. For me, this work is not just another job. It is a desire to serve—a way of being in the world as much as a professional activity.

This entire journey is reflected in the small details of daily life. A meal prepared with care, taking into account both medical needs and the person’s enjoyment. A shared moment of music or drawing—not as mere entertainment, but as an invitation to stay curious and engaged. A quiet presence during difficult times, without unnecessary words. A watchful eye that notices when something has changed.

It is also this range of skills that allows me to adapt to each person just as they are—in their current abilities, in what still brings them joy. Where sight fades, music takes over. Where hearing weakens, drawing or color opens another door. I don’t come with a set program: I come with resources, and it is the person who guides the way.

I work with a deliberately limited number of families—this choice allows me to offer a stable and continuous presence, one that doesn’t change according to an agency’s schedules. I work within a radius of about 10 to 15 km around Nyon, Crassier, and the Terre-Sainte region: Cheserex, Borex, Signy, Chavannes, Arnex-sur-Nyon, Eysins, Grens, Gingins, La Rippe, Trélex, Prangins, Founex, Coppet, Tannay, Mies, Céligny, Commugny…

I work in both French and English — please bear with my accent, I am more comfortable in writing than on the phone.

I am known for my kindness, patience, reliability, discretion, and ability to listen. It is these qualities, along with my professional background, that ensure the families who entrust their loved ones to me continue to place their trust in me over the long term.

Contact me — I would be happy to discuss your situation.
