Valeria R. Care Companion in Santa Ana, CA 92701

My name is Val and I’m a 25-year old non-traditional student (meaning I’m going back to school hehe). My interests include the outdoors, bookstores, photography and philosophy. I’m my free time these days, I’m looking over notes and completing homework or watching movies with my boyfriend. I feel qualified for the reasons being that I have live-in caretaking experience and I’m also the eldest of four girls. My mom says as a kid, I did my sisters’ hair and made them snack sandwiches.

As for more formal experience, like I mentioned earlier, I used to be a live-in caretaker, where I looked over seniors with disabilities and cognitive issues. There I learned true patience and compassion. I was there 24hrs for 6 days of the week, cooking & doing light housekeeping as well as assisting seniors to the restroom, transfers, bathing/changing, etc. I am familiar with the importance of schedule and routine but I’m also very inclined to honor my inner child and have all the fun I didn’t when I was younger. I pride myself in being able to create comfortable spaces of inclusivity and acceptance. I’m honored to have been selected by the universe as the eldest sibling. It believe I have the heart the position requires.
