Laura Y.

I started by taking Family leave from my job as a Bookkeeper, to care for my Father. I thought at that point 5 years ago, hey I would like to do this for a living. Two years later my Father passed away and I lost my job and began caring for my Mother. At that point I decided to go to school and become certified. Received my CNA in 2013. Have been working since then and love what I'm doing. I am caring, dependable, fun, positive and energetic. I am a team player and can also take the lead. I love to cook, bake and juice. Interested in healthy living. Love walking, music, traveling and especially my family!

I have over 10 years of experience providing care for my loved ones as-well-as others in need of care. My husband & 21 year old son lost their battles against cancer within 6 years apart. I found that caring for them without any assistance was a great challenge that I conquered alone. I gained a vast amount of knowledge & experience regarding both colon cancer & osteosarcoma of which my guys suffered, dealing with chemotherapy & surgeries. Even though they lost their battles, I found that a part of me has become more loving & understanding of human sufferage than ever before. I am blessed to be strong & I am appreciative of having good health, & look forward to helping others in need of care and companionship. I am both patient and loving, having been through such devastating experiences with my own loved ones, and I know how it feels to be in such a vulnerable position. I have dedicated myself to assisting people in need of care, and l love what I do. I have been working in this field since 2010 and was hired by Rescare soon after my husband passed in 2016. I feel I have something to "give back", and I will be happy to do so by assisting your loved one's in need of loving and respectful care. It will be my pleasure to assist your family with the best of my training and experience. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, Fire & Safety & have taken a Altzheimer/Dementia training course. I am registered with the CA State Registery for Care Givers & Certified. I have taken & passed numerous Care Giver classes including: HIPPA, Senior Care assistance in all aspects of care, and have passed in depth Finger Print screening. Also, I have broviach catather & colostomy care experience & was trained via Children's Hospita & Emmanuel Memorial hospitals professionals. I have great communication skills, a wonderful personality, and I would be delitefully appreciative to assist you and your loved one.
