About Laura

I am very friendly to all of my residents. I love & care for each of them as if they were my own grandparents . I always pay attention to all of their wants and needs whether it be big or small . I am also willing to learn more to help my residents the best I can. A friend recommended that I get into Resident Care and once I got the hang of it I realized that I love caring for the residents . They have so much knowledge in life that I love hearing & learning about it and the best way to do that is by being around them all the time. I like to know that my helping them is making a difference in their lives even if it's just listening to a story they have to tell or calling 911 to save their life. It makes me feel good about myself to know that I have such a positive impact on so many lives daily. I have a couple of personal achievements that I'm proud of. My first is being able to calmly call 911 to help save the lives of a couple different residents before it was too late. My next one is that in under 4 months of never doing Care before, I was selected as the Best Employee of the Month! My last one is that after switching to Housekeeping that in under 6 months of doing Housekeeping I was selected as Best Employee of the month again! I am also a wife and mom of 4.

Since I was a young child I was raised around my elderly family and I loved to help them walk or just do fun things with them. I babysat at the age 9, I just always had that trait in me to take care of others. I took care of my aunt at the age of 17 I had never had training to do any kind of caregiving work but I learned as I went along. For 9 months I cooked for her, I cleaned her wound, drained the bags that were in her incisions, med reminded, bathed her in bed, washed her hair in bed, I changed her in her bed, cut her diabetic toenails and assisted her to and from dr appointments. My aunt suffered from hepatitis C and diabetes. That's how my journey of becoming a caregiver began. I went and took a home health aide class at Castro Valley adult school and got hired at my first company. ComForCare Senior Services in Castro Valley ca. I took break for 7yrs to be a stay at home mommy in 2012 and now I'm ready to get back to work and doing what I love and that's helping others who are in need of help.

I became a Caregiver for my Mother when she was ill. It was about ten years I cared for her. I like assisting people that are in need of having a better quality of living and be most comfortable. I get great satisfaction when I can care for someone that deserves better quality of living and care. I decided to get my Nurses Assist and Home Health Aide certification to do my job better. In the past I worked as a Pharmacy Technician and took Healthcare courses to better myself. I enjoy helping other people and learning of whatever it is.
