About Laura

I've always been a caregiver most all of my life. At 19 my best friend found out she had a brain tumor. I quit my day job to help take care of her the last 6 months of her life. My great Aunt had Alzheimer's I took care of her til the end of her life. My father got sick and I took care of him before he passed he told me this was my calling to be a caregiver. So I went to school to become a CNA and have worked over 20 years caring for people. For the last 3 years I have done a lot of hospice work as well as taking care of others. I am a very compassionate and caring person. I can adopt to any situation that's needed. I love what I do I become attached very quickly to my client and there family's. To help someone is the greatest feeling there is... I also have a current background check as well as I am registered with the state.

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 became a care provider at a young age. I have helped provide care to two members of my family. I enjoy being a care provide because being able to help someone and hopefuly put a smile on there face is what makes it worth it. We all need help sometimes. I feel that I am a good care provider beacuse I have a big heart and I enjoy helping other. * I will be starting my CNA training starting in Febuary to help better myself and to be able to provide better care.
