Valerie’s Bio

Starting from a young age I was naturally a caregiver. My first experience was as a teenager translating and managing my grandfathers care while struggling with advanced kidney failure and many other ailments that come from unmanaged diabetes. Aside from taking care of family and friends one of my first jobs was providing companionship to an older adult with a progressive disease in South Charlotte up until she passed away.

While working on my undergraduate degree, I moved on to nanny for a family with two girls and eventually ended up in healthcare working for several years as a CNA and Rehab Tech for PT, OT and Speech therapy as I was working on my masters degree. Once COVID happened I stepped away from healthcare to work from home but now that things are back to normal. I am looking to step into similar roles as before. I have missed the ability to connect with others the way my previous jobs allowed me to. I look forward to connecting with you to see if I’ll be a good fit! Please let me know if references are needed, I will be more than happy to provide a few.
