About Valerie

I became a Caregiver because my mother felt that it would be the best career to start at my age. She felt that it would be a big help especially because I've been contemplating on getting my nursing degree. I enjoy the feeling of being useful for the elderly and the sick. Being a caregiver for this long has given me a great outlook on life and has helped me understand the struggles of aging but has also given me time to learn sympathy. I am very proud of being given the privilege of being put into Hospice at my age. It is extremely hard to get the respect from Superiors, and most times, in Home-care, you get promoted, but I was thrown in very quickly because of my work ethic. They gave me quick recognition for training at Middlesex Community College. I am a aspiring singer, and guitarist. I am not attending school at the moment but enjoy teaching myself by being studious at home.

    I am a compassionate, caring and trustworthy person. I am a consummate professional with a great work ethic. I have elderly parents that receive care so I know the traits that I look for in a caregiver. I have always had the desire to help others. Helping others improve or maintain a good quality of life has always been fulfilling and satisfying. My greatest personal achievements have been graduating from college with honors, advancing in my career and taking care of my aging parents.
