About Laura

I'm a very caring individual. I am passionate about advocating for those who can not speak for themselves e.i. children, elderly and animals. I was first drawn to being a caregiver, as a teenager, when my grandmother was sick. I provided care for her including open wound dressing changes. I decided to go to school to be an LPN. I graduated in 2012 and obtained my PA license in December 2012. I worked in MedSurg at Williamsport Regional Medical Hospital in Williamsport, Pa before becoming a stay at home parent. I am not licensed in the state of Florida. What I enjoy most about caregiving is getting to know my clients, hearing their stories and being able to help them keep their independence. Everyone has a story to tell.
