About Valerie

I am a very kind, gentle and loving individual, who has a lot to offer in the medical field. Nursing is one of the most giving and rewarding careers that one could ever have. I like the fact that I can go above and beyond for my patients. I am extremely proud to have raised 3 children as a single mom while going to nursing school. They are now in College and doing pretty well for themselves. I was born in and raised in Jamaica , I came to this country at the age of 25, had an educational background in business and was self employed at the age of 21. I went to nursing school so I could give more of myself in a positive way.

Rosana V.

$23.00/hour · Los Angeles, CA

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.
