About Valerie

Experience: 5 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have two skill-sets that can be of use to inquiring families. First, I have an affinity for seniors and have experience with Alzheimer's and memory loss. Secondly, I have extensive administrative office experience, which I have found to be most helpful as a personal assistant. Most recently, I was a personal assistant and companion for a lovely lady with Alzheimer's. I assisted her with daily living activities and worked closely with her family, enabling her to continue her social life and interests, while preserving her dignity. At the same time, I helped run her household-paying the bills, arranging vendors, providing her son and daughter regular updates on her health and activities, etc. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, gardening and organizing. I can plan outings and social events but also activities at home--I take my cues from your loved one and your family.

Valerie took care of our mother. She was involved in all day to day activities, appointments, other team members and social and medical appointments. Valerie support for our family was instrumental in keeping our mother in her home. Her approach was kind, loving, supporting and thorough and at all times showing the appropriate etiquette for the occasion. She gave our mother a since of dignity and independence.
