Vielle A.

I'm a mother of 5 and grandmother to 10. I've worked as a caregiver for the last 15+ years and counting. I love my clients and working with the elderly. What started out as a job became second nature and probably alot of that has to do with my cultural background. I loved it so much, I paid for my own training and certifications to be an independent caregiver. I got bonded, insured and registered with the state and I have several great references from the loving families of those whom I have cared for over the years. I've had great experiences with those who I have worked for and with, along with learning from wonderful nurses and doctors that I've interacted with during the care of many of my clients. I am very proud of the achievements I've made in taking the initiative to learn as I go with each client, and each client came with various conditions and ailments, and some with multiple conditions. It has been a great journey of growth and connection for me like no other and I find it so fulfilling to be able to help our elderly population in need. They have been all like family.

I love being a caregiver and providing people with the type of care that I would want when I get older. I've been caring for older adults for more than 5 years and want to be a nurse that focuses on Alzheimer's and Dementia. I'm looking for part-time work that will allow me to care for someone with early stages of Dementia. My first experience in caregiving was when I helped care for my grandfather several years ago who had Heart Failure and Dementia. I became very interested in learning how to best care for him and after taking a few classes on caring for seniors and fell in love with the work.
