About VALERIE LYNN

Hello, my name is Valerie Sawyer. I started working with the elderly because my aunt has Parkinson's and couldn't do all the things she used to do. I like getting to know the people I work with and a lot of them remind me of my grandparents, who are no longer here. I like hearing about people's life and experiences and I like sharing mine as well.
