About Tammy

I chose to become a caregiver 13 years ago. I chose this line of work after helping take care of my grandfather. There is honestly no profession that is more rewarding than being a caregiver. To make a difference in someone's life, even for just a few hours isa great feeling. Seeing clients/residents smile when you enter the room is a rewarding. I enjoy listening to the stories about their life. I have worked the mentally challenged, dementia patients, and stroke patients. Having patience, and being a good listener, are the best qualities of a good caregiver.

    Hi my name is Valerie. I have a degree in social work and have always loved people , whether it is children or the elderly. I have always been a patient person and try to see situations from the client's perspective, as I would want someone to do for me. I find helping people very rewarding. I have been doing it most of my life, between raising my children, having a daycare and taking care of the elderly. I find communication is important, as well as listening and trying to accommodate the person you are there for.
