I am Laurie Perez, compassionate and top quality care is what I like to deliver to my clients. As I watched my grandmother grow older through the years and as close as I was with her, that amazing relationship opted me to go into this line of work. I love being able to help other people and , being able to do for others in such a compassionate way as I would love done for me someday. I enjoy listening and talking to my patients about their history and life's adventures. I just found I had a nack for this healthcare field and fell in love with it. I can proudly say that I have never had any complaints and that's probably why I have been in this field for over 35 years and counting.[?]

I have 23 years experience as a CNA. I am certified in CPR. I love taking care of people. Providing care to someone that can't do for themselves, makes me proud knowing that I made someone life a little better.

For me I guess it became evident early on in my life, that what I love to do is to take care of others. I was married for 21 years and took care of elderly in-laws, and parents till they passed on, and it made me realize how special those with special needs are and how much 1 simple smile, listening ears, and touch can comfort even a stranger. None of us are promised tomorrow and on April 1, 2004 I lost my oldest son in the war in Iraq.... to me that was the most devastating thing to go through that any parent could endure. I mention this because after Dusty's death my life was forever changed and out of it, I was afforded the opportunity to go to school and get certified as a CNA for the state of Texas. I had volunteered and shadowed at a long term center and my fellow friends said Lisa you like this you should get certified.... and so I did. I tell everyone that being a caregiver is not a job for me it is a call in my life. It requires compassion and I am devoted to do the very best I can do for the person I am providing care for and it goes beyond just the daily ADL's, this encompasses being a good listener and encouraging them to achieve the best possible for them and their loved ones. It requires team work from the person receiving the care to the family and loved ones, and of course me the caregiver. In closing thankyou for this opportunity. Sincerely, Lisa G. Sekula
