About Lauren

Hello! I am currently a CNA and I love what I do! I love caring for those that need a little or a lot of extra help. I enjoy talking with residents and learning about what they have experienced in their life, while telling them new and exciting things about mine. My favorite thing to do is to give a resident a good laugh or even a big smile. I often times say silly things or jokes to brighten their day a bit! I am a very empathetic person and always try to help someone with whatever they are going through. If someone is having a bad day, I can talk to them about it and usually get their mind focused on something else, while ending the conversation in a smile. I consider myself to be a kind-hearted, compassionate, efficient, hard-working professional with a good sense of humor. I'm willing to go the extra mile for my elders and to help in any way possible.

Hello! I am an energetic caregiver with a passion for caring for seniors. Since I was in High School, I knew I wanted to devote my life to caring for seniors. I absolutely love how having a meaningful converstaion with someone can turn their entire day around. For the last several years I have worked as an Activity Coordinator in the Memory Care department of a senior living community. This job made me fall in love with this vulnerable population. It takes a very special personality to care for these individuals and I want to share my skills and passion by enriching the lives of others. I have previously worked as a personal trainer and feel comfortable assisting in exercises given from physical therapists. I am currently employed part time as a fitness instructor for a local senior center. I am currently in school for Health Systems Management and looking for flexibile opportunities to maintain my caregiving skills. I am looking for afternoon opportunities but can be available occasional weekends if planned in advance.
