About Laurel

I wanted to make a difference in the world by taking care of people. I like the idea of helping people who cant take care of them selves properly. I took care of my grand father and grand mother who suffered greatly from cancer. Then I got into the field of Nursing Assistance. Working at norridge was one of the greatest experiences in my life. I enjoyed working with the residents. I am reliable, hardworking, punctual, friendly, smart. I work well under pressure, and i'm good with people.

    I am a great caregiver because I provide excellent care to elderly/disabled people who can't do for themselves. I became a caregiver because I love helping people, and it feels good to help someone that's not able to help themselves. I feel that helping someone else makes my day better because I know I made a difference in someone's life whether it's helping a patient bath, eat, get dressed or even assist with walking. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is me being able to work with hospice patients. I was scared to work with hospice patients when I first started as a certified nurses aide, but I work with them everyday now and I love it!!! I'm going tell you a little about me I'm a dedicated hard worker, caring, respectful, loyal and honest person. I'm also a great person to get along with and I can work and a lot of different settings such as nursing homes, home care etc.
