Victoria K. Care Companion in Aurora, CO 80017

I love being a caregiver because it allows me to make a meaningful impact on someone’s life. Building relationships with clients, providing comfort, and knowing that I’m contributing to their well-being is incredibly fulfilling. It’s rewarding to see how my care can improve their day-to-day life, foster independence, or simply bring a smile to their face. I also enjoy the emotional connection and trust that develops over time, which makes the role even more special.
I have several years of caregiving experience in various settings. I’ve worked as:
1. An in-home caregiver at Place at Home and Apollo Home Care, where I assisted clients with personal care, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and companionship.
2. A caregiver at Brookdale Senior Living, where I cared for seniors with diverse needs, including those with dementia or mobility challenges.
3. I also have experience as a substitute childcare provider, which has helped me develop patience and adaptability when working with individuals of different ages and needs.
