About Laura

I have been in the senior caregiver field for 33 years. I have always felt drawn to this field and love talking with the elderly, hearing their stories and life experiences, and I find the job very rewarding. I get a feeling of accomplishment when I can make another person smile and feel a sense of comfort because of the way I am. My heart is definitely in charge of me when it comes to caring for seniors and I love knowing that when they are in my care they will be treated with respect, love, and dignity at all times. I am a 48 year old woman and I have an excellent driving record. I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs. I have a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Administration from University of Phoenix/Detroit, and a degree in Communications as well. I am a published author, and enjoy true crime shows and novels. I am an excellent cook and housekeeper. I am very reliable, timely, and detail oriented. Because of my years of experience in this field; I provide the family of the loved one I am caring for a sense of relief and stability. I am foremost a Christian woman.

Experience & Education

Household Manager/Caregiver

Sep 2014 - Nov 2016
Judge Calvin R. Stone
I am a housekeeper, cook, as well as a companion to Judge Stone. I do party planning and serve large meals when guests or family visit. I do all of his errands and grocery shopping, meal planning, laundry, and also manage the household for any services such as pest control, yard workers, pool/spa service, etc. I work Monday through Saturday for Judge Stone. I have worked for him since his beloved wife of 38 years passed in September, as he wanted to remain in his own home in Florida and his family resides in Peoria, Illinois. The reason I went to Florida in the first place was to help my oldest brother through a dual cancer diagnosis. After six lung surgeries, 6 months of chemotherapy, the lung cancer dissipated however; the Rituxan treatments continue for the Lymphatic Leukemia. My brother seemed to begin to isolate and although he had cancer, it is chronic thus he has no expiration date. I gifted him my job to give him purpose, as after all, it was via him that I even met Judge Stone. I'm happy to say they are both doing wonderfully!
