About Lauren

I became a caregiver because I love helping others in any way possible. First, I don't like being a caregiver,I LOVE being a caregiver. Just to brightens somebody's day and make them feel better, ultimately makes my day better. A personal achievement I am proud of is giving birth to my son and still continuing my education. I am a great people person, I love to cook and clean (I often joke that that's my therapy). I am very intelligent and I have many goals in life that I am inspiring to achieve.

    I am a very reliable and friendly caregiver, I love to care for people young,old,disability, handicapped. It's doesn't become just a Job for me, but to see a smile on person face says it all for me. I enjoy caring for the elderly or people's needs because one day I might be in their shoe so I treat everyone how I would want to be treated, which is with respect, being honest, caring , trusting me to care for them. From my experience I've heard a lot of people tell me that I'm very patient and loving. I always look forward to seeing every client home I go to and they look forward to seeing me and that warm friendly smile I gave them
