About Victoria

I found my calling after years of taking care of my elderly parents and also my own family. I took a job near my home assisting a RN and an LVN to care for 6 mentally and physically challenged adults in a group home. I fell in love with the job and was heart sick, when a year later, the group home closed, due to lack of funding from the state. I decided to go back to school and earn my CNA certification. I served an internship at three different assisted living facilities during my training and was convinced that this was the field I was happiest in. I got a job I love and have been kept busy but would like some extra work in addition to my regular job. I have good references from people who know my good work history.

Caregiving has always come second nature to me. I remember intuitively rubbing my grandmother's back and feet at a very young age, because of how much discomfort she was in and wanting to relieve her from all her aches and pains. I learned early on that simply engaging in conversation or encouraging my grandmother to go on walks, would alleviate much of her pain and boost her spirits almost instantaneously. As, I grew older I took on many volunteering and paid jobs to assist, care, and provide companionship to children with disabilities, the elderly, and terminally ill patients. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the ability to connect with the person and build a trustworthy friendship . My biggest personal achievement is, I have turned my passion for caregiving into my career goal which is to become a Medical Doctor.
