About Laura

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I find that I can help many people with the care i can provide..knowing I can help someone is such a great feeling and joy. A Long goal term achievement was to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. I certified myself in 2006 as a CNA and got the job I knew I longed for. I have provided Senior care since then on and off. I continued in the medical profession for 4 years and also provided Private & Elderly care in between.Now i find myself recertifying for nursing assistant and completing my course to be able to become licenced once again at what I feel I do best.
