Hello, my name is Valerie and I am a compassionate and experienced home carer. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise, I have provided care for individuals with various needs, including those with mild cognitive impairment, bedbound patients, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, and depression. I am comfortable providing live-in and overnight care, always ensuring the safety and well-being of my clients.

One of my greatest attributes is my ability to provide support and assistance with daily activities. From bathing and toileting to dressing and catheter care, I am skilled in meeting the personal care needs of individuals. Additionally, my companionship skills are top-notch, allowing me to form meaningful connections with those in my care.

When I am not working, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that keep me active and engaged. Whether it's going for long walks, dancing, playing card games, or indulging in some decorating, I believe in living life to the fullest. Furthermore, I value socializing and understand the importance of maintaining a sense of community for the individuals I care for.

As a carer, I appreciate the company of pets and have no allergies or aversions to specific animals. Whether it's a cat, dog, fish, rabbit, or bird, I am comfortable and happy to interact with them, recognizing the positive impact pets can have on our well-being.

My motivation for caring stems from a deep desire to help people lead independent lives. I am committed to providing exceptional care and support, assisting individuals in maintaining their independence and dignity. With my caring nature, friendly demeanor, and helpful attitude, I am confident in my ability to make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.
