Description
My name is Verona L and I am a home carer with 10 years of experience. I provide care for people who need assistance with bathing, toileting, dressing, and more. I enjoy helping people lead as independent lives as possible and I feel very rewarded when I see my clients achieve their goals. I am friendly and helpful, and I enjoy making my clients feel comfortable and at ease.
