About Laura

I believe I am a great caregiver because I can connect very easily with those who are in need of help and because I LOVE my job and the people I care for. I believe it is a calling. I have compassion, loyalty and experience, all of which I use when I am working with a client. They are treated as though they belong in my family, I would have it no other way. All they want is to be heard and cared about. I have a lot of love and happiness to spread and I feel my calling as a caregiver helps me to fulfill that. Picking my life up and moving on and following where I am led without hesitation has been a huge personal achievement for me this past year and cannot wait to live out this next chapter in my life, it is an excitement that cannot be put into words. I am a very attentive person who respects our veterans and elders with every ounce of my being. They took care of us first and now it is their turn to be treated with dignity and respect!

The main reason I became a caregiver was to help my father while he was sick with cancer. I wanted to be there for him during his last days of life. I like the fact that I am helping someone feel better and get through rough times. My personal achievement in my life was to make my father proud and succeed in my career. I am an honest down to earth person, I take pride in everything that I do and I also stand behind everything that I say. I enjoying helping people it 's a great satisfaction to to know I am helping someone.

I became a caregiver so I could give back to my community and people. I like being a caregiver because I can provide help and meet the required needs. When I see a smile on my client's face,this lets me know that the person is satisfied and pleased. One of my achievements is becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am also certified as a Leasing Consultant. I'm currently enrolled in school online for LPN. I'm a wonderful mother too!
