About Sarah

I became a caregiver for the elderly when I was 19 years old. Now, at 23 as I aim to complete my Master's degree in Social Work, I continue to look forward to caring for our older population every week. I love creating relationships with our older adults, and assist them with the things that they need to be done. I find a sense of accomplishment by giving back to the community that has created the world that we live in. I love hearing stories about when our parents and grandparents were young and the different obstacles that they have had to overcome. I find that I am an outgoing and loving caregiver. I have experience with the easiest cases in elderly care, and the not so easy cases. Both give me similar senses of accomplishment. I am always interested in learning about new people and their needs.

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.
