About Carolina

I became a caregiver while attending nursing school, i originally wanted to become a architect but once my brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia, i changed my major to RN/ Clinical Psychology. I feel that i am a great caregiver because i do this because i like it. Working in the medical field and helping people is something i truly am passionate about. I enjoy helping people that are not fully capable of taking care of themselves. It can mean to motivate someone and helping them be independent once again or if someone is fully disabled physically to help them so that they wont disable themselves mentally and still continue to live the rest of their lives. I am 22 years old, i do not have 30 years of experience but i have heart and dedication. During high school i was captain of an 80 girl track team. There i learned punctuality, responsibility, determination and discipline.

    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.
