About Velesa

Compassionate, energetic Certified Nurse Aide/Home Health Aide with years of experience as a senior caregiver. I have had opportunities to work with clients that had health issues such as Alzheimer's disease, Dementia, Strokes, Parkinson's disease and other age-related disorders. I have worked 12/24hours and I have worked as a live-in caregiver. I truly find my profession rewarding, because of the 'one on one' attention I can provide for my client. I'm CPR certified/First aid trained. By the way, I am animal friendly.

I have always had a heart for caring for people but my passion grew stronger when my mother passed away. I love being able to help a love one with everyday living. Not only assisting them with everyday care but keeping them as independent as possible. There are many things that keep me interested in being a caregiver but the most important one,I can be there for someone else's love one. I am a certified nursing assistant of 6 years,4 years of mental health and geriatric.
