Victoria’s Bio
Hello families and welcome to my profile!
I am an experienced and compassionate senior caregiver who finds so much joy assisting seniors in their golden years of life. I received my Patient Care certificate from Fox Valley Hospice in 2002, after going through a very intensive training program. I treat my senior companions with love & respect, and build very strong bonds with them as well as their families. My heart is one of kindness and empathy. I am also a certified holistic nutritionist who enjoys volunteering at the local retirement community, hiking nature trails, riding my bicycle, bird watching, and spending time with family and friends.
My strengths include, but are not limited to, being very patient, dependable, honest, organized, attentive and loving. I have vast experience and knowledge dealing with dementia, diabetes, arthritis, joint replacements, walkers, wheelchairs, rehab facilities, hospitals, and those who just had surgery and need someone to tend to their needs.
I have a clean background check listed online on the IL Dept. of Public Health's healthcare worker registry which I am happy to share with you.
I would love to hear from you if you think we may be a good fit. Please send an email and I will respond promptly.
Thank you kindly,
Victoria

She was always very professional, pleasant, caring and reliable. I would highly recommend Victoria's services!" Daina M., Batavia, IL
