About Valerie

I became a caregiver because I love being able to help, assist, and motivate people to feel better, to have the best quality of life possible, to gain or remain independence and keep dignity in tact, to look forward to the next laugh, and to encourage hope. My personal achievement is when I have conversations with my clients I can engage them into a meaningful, positive, and in a life affirming manner that will cause a uplifting and encouraging response. I am a dedicated, dynamic, and conscientious care provider trained in caring for elderly and disabled adults. I enjoy being able to prepare healthy home cooked meals for all my clients according to dietary instructions and maintain a safe and clean environment.
