Hi there! I'm Valerie. I have experience with children as well as the elderly. Additionally, I spent several months helping to care for my nephew when he came home from the NICU. He had additional healthcare needs (bipap machine, tube feedings, etc). I learned a lot while caring for him. I love kids, whether it's talking, teaching, playing or having fun together. I adapt easily to any routines and boundaries you set and will always try to follow the direction you provide. My number one goal is always safety, followed by building a healthy, warm and lighthearted connection. I try to maintain a positive and engaging environment. I'm happy to sit down for an interview and provide anything additional information you may need. Hope to hear from you soon! :)
