About Veela

This is not a job for everyone. I consider it an honor an privilege to do this work. Unfortunately, my Mother's health was on the decline. I didn't know that I could be certified and trained as her Caregiver. I went through the training and signed on with an agency. Initially my Mother was my only client because of the amount of hours she required. We've had some trying times, but by the grace of God her hours were cut in half because she has made vast improvements. As a result I have another client and I'm proud to say that her children know she's in good hands. It makes me feel great to know they don't worry because they know I'm here. I treat my client with the same care and consideration that I give my own Mother. I consider it a blessing that I have been able to take care of my Mother. I would hope someone could be there for my parent if I didn't have the opportunity. I have become close to my client and our relationship goes beyond client/Caregiver.
