About Gifty

I am passionate about caring for individuals who are needy, sick and disabled. I love my job as a caregiver. Providing support and saving lives is my ultimate goal. My greatest achievement is saving lives and keeping my patients clean and healthy. Personally, hygiene is always a key. For example I was taking care of a disabled female who was bed bounded. I assisted her with overall personal care, feeding, light housekeeping, re-positioned her every two hours and performed all activities of daily living. I prepared her daily meals, reminded her to take her medication and ensured safety and cleanliness in her home. I love my job as a caregiver. I am a certified licensed nurse assistant and a bachelors degree in public health. I have a driver license in case there is a need for transportation for the client.

    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.
