About Darlene

I have always been the caregiver of my family. Caring for people has always been what I do naturally. I love to make a difference in people's lives. To open a new door or to see some one smile is the best reward ever. I have taken care of adults with disabilities for more than 10 years, an individual was choking one day. I ran over to him , put my arms around his upper abdomen and squeezed. The piece of food came out , and I was so proud and relieved to have save him from choking. I am a mother with 6 children and 7 grandchildren. I am a very patient , caring, kind steady individual, that will be there when needed. I have more than 10 years experience in caring for people, and could not think of anything else I would rather 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.
