About Ericka

I'm a very compassionate,trustworthy,reliable person and I love caring for those in need of assistance. I'm very passionate about what I do and I love making people smile and feel loved. I have experience with all ages and all different disabilities. I make people feel happy and proud of themselves. I have been caring for individuals for 14yrs and the one thing I love the most is hearing people's stories about who they were and where they came from and I love hearing about history and things they have done in their lives. The one thing I can say at the end of each day is that I love my job and I love what I do.

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.
