About Laura

I'm a patient, compassionate and experienced caregiver. I have worked with the elderly, the young, the disadvantaged , those suffering memory loss from dementia and the dying. Along with having my CNA/HHA certification, I also went to nursing school and graduated with a 97.4 average at the top of my class. I am an avid reader and researcher, and I'm always reading as much as I can about topics affecting healthcare today, as well as educating myself with a current patient's diagnosis, medications and medical histories. I consider myself a very good listener, knowing how important good communication is between healthcare provider and patient. I am a trustworthy individual, and my boundaries are healthy and my behavior appropriate and professional at all times. And as a professional, l pride myself on being on time, being reliable and steadfast. I am neat and tidy, organized and forward thinking. I have good manners, my ethics are commendable and my priorities are straight. I love the healthcare field and have the utmost respect for the healthcare workers in this world, And I think it goes without saying, that when it comes to respect, love and admiration , my patients whom I've learned so much from in the past 30 years, deserve the loving care of their healthcare providers. I am grateful for my years of experience, am humbled by the strength and determination of my patients, and blessed to be a part of each and every one of my patients' journeys. I took care of my mother with advanced dementia before she entered assisted living, I held my father's hand as he took his last breath last year , and am a proud mother of two grown sons and their families. If after reading this you are interested in hiring me , I can assure you that your loved ones or you will be in the experienced, smart and professional hands. I am a natural born healer, helper, companion and friend. Hope to meet you soon. .You will be in healing hands,!
