I am certified in First Aid & CPR and Basic Life Support with the American Heart Association and The American Red Cross. I also Servsafe Certified and I know how to properly handle food/ food preparation. My personal achievement that I am proud of is when I received my first college degree.

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.

As a caregiver, my nurturing nature and patience are my strongest personality traits. I've always been drawn to caregiving because I find fulfillment in helping others and making a positive impact on their lives. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is forming meaningful connections with those I care for and being able to provide them with comfort and support. One personal achievement I'm proud of is successfully helping a client regain their independence after a challenging recovery process, knowing that I played a part in their journey towards wellness.
