About Victoria

Hi, my name is Victoria and I am interested in being a caregiver. I recently graduated from Loyola University of Chicago with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I have been a private caregiver for an elderly client with Alzheimer's disease since August 2015. However, he is being moved to a memory care facility and I wish to continue working as a private caregiver. I am passionate about caring for others because I find fulfillment in helping others.

Hi, my name is Jackie. I am 45 years old and I have over 10 years of experience as a caregiver. I became a caregiver because I enjoy to spend time with elderly and listen to thear stories. I feel really lucky to have best clients so far and I am glad be able to help them as much as a can. About myself - I am from Bulgaria, Eastern Europe. I speak English, Russian and my native Bulgarian languages. I am a Pharmacy Technician. I took a degree from I.R.T. Technical College in Skokie, IL in 2008. I worked 7 years for Traycee Home Care agency and last 4 years I've been a private caregiver. I also have a hospice experience, but mostly I've been taking care of clients suffering from Alzheimer's/Dementia, stroke and diabetes. If you are interested in my services, please send me an email or give me a call. Thank you
