About Valerie

Hi my name is Valerie. I have a degree in social work and have always loved people , whether it is children or the elderly. I have always been a patient person and try to see situations from the client's perspective, as I would want someone to do for me. I find helping people very rewarding. I have been doing it most of my life, between raising my children, having a daycare and taking care of the elderly. I find communication is important, as well as listening and trying to accommodate the person you are there for.

What makes me a great caregiver is that I have faith in helping others and I want to be helpful in humanity. I want to be a caregiver because when my mom was sick I always helped her and when she passed away I felt like I had a responisablity to help other sick people in the same way. I enjoy being a caregiver because at work I spend all my time doing something good that God appreciates. One personal achievement that I have is that I stuck with one of my patients who wasn't able to walk until she got better and started walking.
