About Velma

I worked in a Woman Battered Shelter for a few months,i had so much compassion and love for those women and their children. A month after my volunteer work at the shelter, I got a call from a former co-worker about a caregiver job with an elderly lady and from that day forward I knew that this was what I was called to do. I'm a very compassionate and caring person. My heart is in my work as a caregiver. I'm a good southern woman.

    Hello, I have been in the medical field for 12 years now. I've worked in a nursing home for a couple of years. Took care of a lady with dementia and a form of ALS from 2019-2022. I've gone to school for CNA and CMA. I currently work at a Neuro rehabilitation as an OT rehab tech. I've been with them for 3 years now. I'm CPR and first aid certified as well.

    It brings me great joy knowing that the patients I take care of and work for can have a better quality of life by getting to know them and help them with whatever they need. I have always enjoyed not only working with older people, but children as well. I have been a caregiver for many years not only for family and relatives but people I never knew before. I always feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that the people who I work for can finally feel relief knowing they are around someone trustworthy and honest, and someone that they can feel comfortable with. I am proud of the fact that I am going to online college to pursue a degree in business management so that one day maybe I can open my own healthcare establishment. The thing I enjoy most about working as a caregiver is the great big hugs I get from my clients as a rewarding way of saying thank you for what I do!
