About Lura

I believe I would be an excellent caregiver due to my extensive experience caring for both younger and older people. When it comes to kiddos, I have always been drawn to showing them unconditional love and helping them acknowledge their own capabilities (which are limitless). Also, I have cared for my own grandparents when they suffered from Diabetes and Cancer, so I can understand. What attracted me most about being a caregiver was the chance to show those I care for how important they are and to be able to speak encouragement into their lives. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver would definitely be the relationships I am blessed to make during my time with them. A personal achievement I am proud of is definitely getting into the college of my dreams (Wheaton College), after going to state for cross country my senior year of high school.

Hi! My name is Malawi, I am 20 years old and I have been a certified caregiver for 5 years, I've had 2+ year clients that still reach out to me if they need anything. I am reliable in all aspects, I am respectful, and I love to help and encourage people. I love to laugh, I'm very kind and calm, and organized. I took French for 6 years. I love musical theatre and movies. I was first encouraged to become a caregiver from always loving the feeling of helping my grandparents and being someone they know they can rely on. I became a babysitter when I was 13 and I babysat 3 different families for 2+ years. In March 2016, I became a caregiver for a family friend named Sandra, I stayed with her during chemo therapy appointments, help her heal wounds, exercise, talk and laugh, I recorded her blood sugar daily, e-mailed doctors for her, helped her with mail and any business she needed done such as paying bills, filled her pill box weekly - and I still communicate with her to this day. I love being a caregiver because it reminds me that I am a genuine person and I care about others as much as myself esp. in this career. I love to talk or just simply help. I am always alert and ready to prevent bad situations because I have experience with helping someone with a broken foot and diabetes as well. I am proud of always solving problems for my clients and keeping them comfortable and happy.
