Meet Valerie
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I am a disabled veterans spouse who has always loved being around pets, children, and elders. I am the youngest of two and my sister has four girls, all whom I've watched from newborn to teen years. An aunt to four nieces has given me ample experience with children of all ages. Growing up I helped babysit and pet sit with my mother, so I feel kids and animals have been a huge part of my life. For two years I worked as an Educational Aid for an elementary school, again working with a wide range of children. I've also worked with adolescents in a behavioral health hospital. I have also done hospice care and loved visiting with my elders whom I was assigned to. I have an associate degree in forensic science, a bachelor degree in psychology, and working on my masters in social work.
