About Laura

I am a very outgoing, dependable, energetic and trustworthy person and I am happiest when I am helping people. I became interested in pursuing a second career in health care during the time that I was in-home caregiver for my father, who was diagnosed with ALS. I took care of all of his needs in my home until he passed away in 2011. I am an attentive, caring and compassionate caregiver with extensive life experience and I am a life long resident of Las Vegas and Henderson. I am very proud of the work I have done for this community, both through being a certified nursing assistant and hospice volunteer.
