About Laura

I went to BYUI and studied nursing, found a love for caring for others. I find great joy in it, I am compassionate, hardworking, and have the patience and attention to detail that nursing calls for. My first experiences as far as nursing goes is when I did a in home healthcare job for a 2 year old boy who had CP I fell in love with him and his family. I loved the relationship we formed and enjoyed caring for him. He sadly passed away two years later complications with his CP. I have also loved caring for the elderly and every other age group as well, I have lots of experience with Alzheimer's patients as well as other ailments and special needs. I know the importance of routine and schedule and time management. As far a medications and therapies as well as just activities of daily livings; I understand the importance of these things in my patients lives and I see my role as an advocate for my patients as well as just a helping hand in helping them to achieve their tasks.

Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.

Most of my duties are 24 hours or live in. My compassionate nature combined with my hands-on experience in personal care makes me a perfect candidate for a full-time caregiver position. My excellent personal care skills and high level of commitment to my work enable me help the elderly to maintain mobility through light work and walking. I also have a demonstrated ability to assist cognitive functioning through various methods such as conversation, memory drills and books. In keeping with your specific requirements, I am expert in planning and preparing nutritious meals, helping with activities of daily living and personal care such as bathing, grooming, feeding, toileting and dressing. Furthermore, I make sure to be on time with the patients, for distance doesn't matter as long as I am able to provide care, love and affection to them. So that early in the morning, happiness and joy would fill in not just to the patients' lives but to my life as well. Everytime I work with the patients, It always gives me the feeling of satisfaction and determination to help them live their lives to the fullest. I enjoy working with the patients of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds and have a demonstrated ability to develop great relationship with them and their families. Moreover, I am trustworthy and responsible person who take great pleasure in all kinds of caregiving tasks.
