About Andrea

I love helping the elderly, i feel like they were once so independent and now they deserve quality care, and assistance. What i love about being a caregiver is the fact that im able to show empathy to my patients by assisting them and making them feel as comfortable as possible some of my patients are really ill and sometimes the only thing you can do is make them as comfortable as possible that's something i love to be able to give them.One of my personal achievements would be finishing school as a substance abuse counselor while working full time, i have worked with the elderly for so long that i wanted to accomplish school in a other area in my life to learn about all populations and these others struggle with. Im a dedicated person, im goal oriented and a passionate individual, i believe that my up bringing has had a positive impact on the Woman iam today.

    As a care giver I find the most important attribute is compassion, the second being willing to apply love as if it were your own family member. I have been in the business of care giving for over a decade and I take pride in the service I provide. I am a people person and love to talk and am always interested in new business ventures.

    Hello my name is Rosana Valadez and i became a caregiver a decade ago when I had to take care of one of my loved ones. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. What I like about being a caregiver is that I learn more and more as time passes, what my patients expect from me and also what I learn from them, the care that they want, and the friendship that is built. I'm caring, outgoing, fun and always have a smile on my face. I'm a people person - friendly, kind, gentle, compassionate, dependable. I have a good sense of humor. I love being a caregiver and helping families. I can provide quality care for you or your loved one and put your mind at ease. Available Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm. Full time or atleast 30 hours a week.
