Add to FavoritesAbout Valencia
Hello! My name is Valencia and I am 23 years young. I am a social work major and absolutely love working with people. My goal is to complete my masters and become a hospice social worker. When I was 15 my grandpa died from ALS and I decided I wanted to be a care giver. At 18 years old I got my first job in health care at a group home with individuals who were developmentally delayed. I worked a bit in an assisted living and realized that I had a passion for geriatrics. I have experience with cerebral palsy, diabetes, autism, hospice care, non verbal and dead clients. I have excellent companionship skills. I find myself to be hard working and I have excellent people skills. I find 1 on 1 time to be very important. Everybody has a story to tell and everybody deserves to be heard. Whether you need help with meal prep, showering, med reminders, or even something as little as listening to a story or painting nails, I'll be there.
