About Valerie

What makes me a great caregiver/CNA is.. I have empathy and compassion for the people I take care of. I love to see them smile and will go above and beyond to make them feel like they belong and loved. My mother was also a CNA and I'd go see her at work sometimes as a young child and wanted to help all the residents extending their hands out to me for help. And that's when I knew I wanted to help people too. My greatest personal achievement would be that I received 3 diplomas in less than a year. I received my medical assistant and phlebotomy diploma, graduating valedictorian. And I went on to receive my GED all within the year of 2011.

I am caring and compassionate caregiver. After working in multiple places I have found my calling as a caregiver. Ive been in this field for 10 years. Seeing the difference that I make in peoples life is very rewarding. After caring for my first client back in 2008 I attended school and earned my CNA License in 2011. Enjoy spending time with client, learning their history and listen to the stories they have to tell is one of my favorite things about my job. Helping in every day activities with dignity and respect is always number one.

Hello! N. Phoenix 5pm to 10pm only. I've been working in many aspects of healthcare since 1991. I Started out working with Young Adults with TBI and SCI injuries. I've run Alzheimer's Homes in the valley. From there I went into Hospital work as a CNA on Ortho, Med Surg, Tele, Oncology, Mental/Behavioral Health, Drug Addiction. Looking for more excitement I transferred into The Operating Room and worked as an Operating Room Assistant and later an Anesthesia Tech. Excitement got a little overwhelming so I learned to read Telemetry and was in charge of 60 plus people in the hospital on different floors. After 7 years there I left and started at Craig Hospital one of the Best rehab facilities in the country maybe the world. I was there for 13 years working with Major Brain injuries and Spinal cord injuries. In this time I became VERY proficient at working SCI & TBI. I'm a very good teacher which was part of my job educating family members so they could bring their loved ones home. I also have a VERY good understanding of TBI patients and spent Eight years working One On One with these individuals Relearning EVERY aspect of their lives again. Again, Educating family was a huge part of this job. I have tremendous experience and Impeccable references! In Twenty plus years in healthcare I've NEVER had a complaint against my license or inadvertently hurt ANY of my patients. Safety has always been my number ONE concern. I've received many awards for excellence in my years and go the extra mile to make sure my job was completed and my patients are comfortable and relaxed. After all we're here for them! I have a great personality and I'm VERY trust worthy. Im a man of my word. I work equally well with Men and Woman. My hearts in the right place. I'd love the opportunity to help you and your family member through difficult times. If you have any questions, Please feel free to inquire Thank You for stopping by! Have a Blessed day!
