About Aura

I become a Caregiver when I found how elderly need people who care about them. I like to practice my skills and knowledge with people that need care, and they can not do it by themselves anymore. When at the end of my care with my patient, he or she, is completely recuperated. And when my patients feel comfortable, no pain, most with cancer, or another terminal sickness. I am a Teacher in Guatemala, I came to Los Angeles in 1996, I was teaching there at this time for 20 years, I become a Caregiver in the same year 1996, when I met a retirement hotel for elderly people and started taking care a lady that could not see anything, was completely blind, and I saw the necessity of these people, and I took a decision, become a Caregiver for those people, and because I would like to have care from somebody in the same way that I do with my patients.

    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.

    When I was a teenager, I provided care for my uncle when he was really sick and bedridden. I was on vacation and decided to be with him instead. He improved after a couple of months and I helped him with transferring, feeding, comfort, toileting and grooming. I really enjoyed assisting him and knew I wanted to become a caregiver or a nurse. I really love providing for the needs of my patients, improving their care and giving back to the patients and families. Sometimes the joy you see in their faces after a job, and the smile and thank you makes all the hard work worth your time. During my job, and past experience, I have assisted coworkers to help patients that needed extensive help such as transferring, toileting, grooming and companionship. I am a reliable person, friendly, organized, patient, hard working, strong, and flexible. I love helping others and always have this smile on my face that gives hope and happiness to others. I am highly talented as a nursing aide with a lot of experience in performing work caring for residents. I am bilingual in French and English; have excellent interpersonal communication skills, am compassionate and technically skilled in attending to patients. I am adept to helping patients in diverse healthcare settings. I am a certified nursing assistant with experience working with the elderly and adults. Nursing professional with 5+ years extensive experience.
