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.

I came to be in the healthcare field from my mom who was an RN and taking care of some of my immediate family and always been a caretaker. Since my 3+ years as an CNA I researched and met people on how I could bring the certification I received to others so traveled across the USA from NY to Idaho as an CNA in long term care facilities, also with private home care, because I want to give back to the Elderly. The experience of working with families, has given me a better perspective on life and the ability to handle any and all personalities, different levels of care, medical diagnosis. My professionalism is graceful and consistent with respect to whom I care for and their families.
