About Lori

For me, being a caregiver isn't just a career. It's my calling in life. I feel as though it's what I was put here to do. My very first job at age 18 was as a caregiver for a lady with MS. I cared for her as a live in for nearly three years with one day off weekly. I then moved to direct care for disabled individuals and have accumulated several years experience. I am certified in first aid/ CPR, medication administration, insulin trained, and have a wide path of experience to fall back on. I was also caregiver for my mother for five years until she passed from ALZ. I am currently attending college studying Human and Social Services to better provide for those I work with and for. I believe that being a caregiver requires a special individual, just as special as those I care for. I have always felt that the individuals I have met and worked with have each been a blessing in their own way and I am the lucky one for having them in my heart and life. I view my clients as family, nothing less. I am dedicated, sincere, patient, full of good humor, not easily upset, and my greatest joy is making others happy. That's the biggest benefit of all. Thanks for listening! - Lori

My passion has been ignited to assist those persons who helped to shape all our lives.....our elderly pupulation.

I'm a great worker Dependable trustworthy hard-working I've been in private caregiving for the past 4 years I love what I do.When I'm with them I try to make them as happy as possible. Getting them to do things that they love to do! Exercising, experience with dementia am Alzheimer's disease. Walking puzzles, playing card, shopping ect, bathing showering cleaning house doing laundry and taking them to appointments especially hair appointments that they love. I absolutely love taking care of the elderly so they can stay in their homes as long as possible. Something I love to do giving back is one of the most important things in my life so caring for them at their age helps me fill my soul never had grandparents I think this is why I do what I do when I was a little girl I was in the hospital in and out and the nurses were absolutely wonderful to me so my whole life I've always wanted to be a nurse but took another path and got married and had children so now I think this is the best thing for me that I can do is close enough as being a real nurse is taking care of the elderly as.
