About Lara

Growing up with a disabled sibling is very different from the average family. I learned to be very independent and put the needs of those I love before my own. Something that has not changed throughout most of my life and careers. I enjoy making people happy, smile and laugh.

Experience & Education

Private family caregiver

Jan 1998 - Aug 2016
My immediate family
Besides caring for my mentally and physically handicapped brother I've assisted in caring for since childhood, had many other jobs throughout school years, even forva medical clinic and pharmacy. Cared for my late husband during his battle with cancer, my late mom and dad as seniors cared for my brother after my parents passed for the 2 1/2 years until a residence spot opened up which was unfortunately after our home going into foreclosure due to losing half my loved ones and caring for the rest and unable to receive a caregiver the entire time so I could go back to work myself. But all my experience with caregiving for so long I've become very good at it and have always had a place in my heart for the disabled and elderly and truly enjoy bringing some happiness to their days and nights while working with them as well. Thank you for your time and I do hope to meet you and your loved one if the position is still available. Take care.

Hello My is Nancy, I enjoy working one on one with people, and I especially love to make them smile by doing little things to brighten their day. I'm a registered CNA and HHA. I have taken care of several family members and friends of family and I've worked as a home health aid. Every person is special and everyday can present a new challenge and I am constantly learning from my clients. One woman in particular that I cared for was 65 yrs old. She was deaf & mute and taught me ASL sign language. So taking care of an individual is part of the job, but 'Caring For Them' is a large part of My heart.
