About Yolanda

1. I became a caregiver because I enjoy helping people. 2. I like the sense of fulfillment it brings me. 3. I am proud of being able to pass the state test to become a licensed insurance agent. 4. I am single with no children yet. I recently relocated to the Dallas area for school, which I attend Monday - Friday 8am-12pm. My availability would be anytime after that and all day Saturday.

What makes me a great caregiver is my smile, positive attitude and I'm caring. I love to help others in any way I can whether it is physical, mental or emotional, I'm a good listener. With all my hard work and dedication I am still progressing in my career, I will be attending school again to continue my career to become a Registered Nurse.

Hello, my name is Victoria! I have a genuine love for working with the elderly, learning things from them and encouraging them to live happy and healthy lives. My experience includes working in a traumatic brain injury facility, filling in at several short staffed nursing facilities and working private duty home care for over 7 years. I believe that it is important for my clients to have a healthy schedule that works for them. I am a licensed CNA and I am certified in first aid and CPR. I am a excellent cook that can adapt to any diet. I have great communication skills and I am a caring and reliable caregiver.
