About Vicky

Began caregiving by assisting my Grandmother after she began hospice care for her cancer diagnosis. Since becoming a caregiver, I have cared for seniors with the following conditions or needs: Stroke, Hip Replacement, Alzheimer's Disease, Cancer and Polio. I enjoy providing assistance to seniors and would like to continue to develop my caregiving skills by providing one-on-one care as a professional caregiver.

I enjoy helping people and once my grandmother and parents needed assistance with aging my career shifted from teaching to caregiving. I enjoy getting to know people and learning about them, while caring for them. I am proud of raising my family and completing school. I have traveled all over the United States and the world, and I enjoy reading.

I have been working with seniors for 16 years. I started out in the dietary department in a nursing home and then I moved into the activities department. I wanted to do more for the seniors so I decided to attend a nursing assistant school. I worked in senior care facilities as well as in-home care. I really enjoy taking care of people. When I see a smile on their face, it really makes my heart smile. I like making a difference in someone's life, helping them so they can live a better, healthier, and have a more gratifying life.
