Denise Robinson, 58, of Homestead, is facing charges including exploitation of an elderly or disabled adult, dealing in stolen property, and false verification of ownership, Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office officials said Thursday.
Authorities said Robinson worked as a caregiver for elderly and vulnerable adults who require daily assistance with personal care and medication management.
An investigation found that Robinson was taking the victims' jewelry without their authorization and pawning it and keeping the proceeds, authorities said.
The jewelry stolen was valued at around $56,500, and authorities said they found documentation that linked Robinson to the sale of the jewelry at pawn shops.
The charges stem from three victims, ages 95, 83, and 81.
"The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office remains committed to protecting elderly and vulnerable residents and holding accountable those who exploit positions of trust for personal gain," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
