About Ericka

I'm a very compassionate,trustworthy,reliable person and I love caring for those in need of assistance. I'm very passionate about what I do and I love making people smile and feel loved. I have experience with all ages and all different disabilities. I make people feel happy and proud of themselves. I have been caring for individuals for 14yrs and the one thing I love the most is hearing people's stories about who they were and where they came from and I love hearing about history and things they have done in their lives. The one thing I can say at the end of each day is that I love my job and I love what I do.

Hi my name is Valerie. I have a degree in social work and have always loved people , whether it is children or the elderly. I have always been a patient person and try to see situations from the client's perspective, as I would want someone to do for me. I find helping people very rewarding. I have been doing it most of my life, between raising my children, having a daycare and taking care of the elderly. I find communication is important, as well as listening and trying to accommodate the person you are there for.

Having compassion for the one's who you care for helping them keep dignity and pride in letting them be a part of their care in making decisions of their care. I became a caregiver to help others help themselves when they no longer can or their physical or mental ability no longer allows them to do so.I care about people and think everyone should be comfortable and feel safe. I'm proud when the person and family feel good about the care they receive and that they know that their love ones are safe and taken care of.
