About Lauama

Caregiving was something I've wanted to do since I myself didn't have any of my grandparents growing up. They lived in Hawaii & Samoa, so when I started in this field of work, it filled that missing spot of building a relationship w/ the elderly. What I love about caregiving is the fact that I'm able to build a friendship with the elderly. I enjoy long talks w/ them, learning new things about their history and so forth, and making sure they're ok & in good spirits. Not to mention, learning new recipes to cook and introduce my family to a new meal :) I am a mother of 4, and am of a Polynesian descent.

I have cared for people all my life as a daughter, mother, wife etc. I am very sincere in wanting to assist a person to do as much or as little as is comfortable for them. After nursing both my husband and his mother through long term illneses and hospice. I have tried to provide as much as possible, the extras that make each day special. Good food, comfort, and help with your routine can mean the world to someone. Since I have been working with Senior Helpers I have helped several older woman stay in their home and live a familiar life. I have grown to love many of those I work with. Oh and let's not forget I can cook. Your way or mine. Thanks Jacqui
