About Laura

I have been in the medical field for over 15 years. During that tenure I was a CNA, EMT, TSS Worker and a Mental Health Technician. I work with the elderly and the special needs children. I am highly qualified to care for clients with Dementia and Alzheimers. I am currently CPR and First Aide Certified. I am the perfect caregiver for you because I am very kind, compassionate and patient. I find what is special to each individual client and I work on provided that for them. For example, if I knew in their younger years they like to shop and pamper themselves then I shop in magazines, paint nails and give reflexology massages. My past clients really enjoyed this time. My rate is also negotiable if 24hr care is needed.

So writing about myself is a little weird, but let me start by saying this is my God calling. I have left taking care of people and tried different things but nothing fulfills me like caring for other people in their time of need. I am bubbly, and very knowledgeable in job.

First there is God, with God you can become a caregiver, he put love in your heart for people, all people.i have 5 children plus 3 step children and 29 grandchildren all together a lot of love going on. There are a lot of people out there that need a lot of taking care of and they need someone that cares. What I like about being a caregiver is the love that you get in return, not all the time in difficult cases but you know it's there. My personal achievement is when I went to Miller-Motte to become a phlebotomist while working a full time and part time job I look back now and wonder how I made it.
