About Dorothy

Anyone looking for a sweet but strong woman to care for your loved one- that's me. My previous work experience has taught me to identify peoples needs, to help them in making decisions, feeding, getting up and down, putting on socks and shoes, even giving them rides. I know my future is in geriatrics. I want to do everything possible to make my new employer happy and comfy. I am capable of going above and beyond every day, I absolutely enjoy serving others! In three years I will be a registered nurse. After that my goal is to be a geriatric nurse!

Payless Shoe Source
In reguards to this caregiving job, the simmilar duties I preform at work are: Caring for my clients wellbeing, checking up on them and identifying their needs. Giving them water if they look thirsty-not required at payless, I just do it out of kindness. Helping them put shoes on if they aren't flexible. Conversing with them. Helping them make decisions. Helping them to their car. Giving them rides outside of work if I recognize them walking. I really want to care for people more than sell to them.

Hello my name is Rosana Valadez and i became a caregiver a decade ago when I had to take care of one of my loved ones. I enjoyed taking care of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. What I like about being a caregiver is that I learn more and more as time passes, what my patients expect from me and also what I learn from them, the care that they want, and the friendship that is built. I'm caring, outgoing, fun and always have a smile on my face. I'm a people person - friendly, kind, gentle, compassionate, dependable. I have a good sense of humor. I love being a caregiver and helping families. I can provide quality care for you or your loved one and put your mind at ease. Available Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm. Full time or atleast 30 hours a week.

Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.
