About Laura

I enjoy working with seniors because I find them to be wonderful! Everyone has a unique story and I love hearing about your life and family. No matter how much help you may need, I will humbly be there to serve you. I treat people with dignity and respect at all times. I have cared for a child with a chronic illness of my own, which gave me the chance to learn the tasks of regular daily caregiving. Five years ago I retired from my first career. I have moved into a second career as an experienced certified caregiver!

I have cared for wonderful people who need help with their daily activities. I am compassionate and understand the challenges faced by those with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Diabetes, Heart Failure, and other diseases. My focus is on in the moment living, letting the patient and myself decide what is best for them and how to keep them safe, comfortable and happy. I've found this to be a winning strategy!
