About Laura

I have been working as a caregiver to elderly people for the past 8 years on weekends and weekday evenings. My full time job is lead counselor at a local 6A high school. I began caregiving after my divorce for supplemental income after a divorce but fell in love with it. I have cared for multiple patients and come with verifiable references. I am responsible and love caring for my sweet clients and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Thank you for your consideration. I work in spring and live in northwest Houston.

As a caregiver/CNA I do this type of work because its what I enjoy. I'm a very caring person that has a deep compassion for the work I do. I treat my clients as my own. Companion is a must. I'm a very listening and understanding person that empathizes. VERY ENCOURAGING! Catch on very quickly, discerning new clients and surroundings (it tells me a little about their personalities and characteristics, what i may be up for). I've known since age 13 what I wanted to do. I'm a certified CNA, caregiver, HAHA. I've worked with many individuals in very different levels. I have 13+ in the medical field. I love challenges. I've worked with many challenging residents and clients in homes, out of homes, nursings facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies, dementia, Alzheimer's, etc. I'm willing and ready to take on whatever needs my attention. I can do ROM, participate in Dr appointments, etc. When and if hired, I will provide documentation.

I became a caregiver due to i love supporting others in need. I am compassionate. I am always open minded to learn different skills to maintain great quality of care and I have patience. What I like about being a caregiver is meeting new people to help them through their time of need. My personality fits the job description of being a caregiver due to understanding and going beyond to make a person happy. My personal achievement that I am proud of is continuing education in psychology. I have completed a cna program. I am also proud everyday as I work in this career field of how the patient and family feels before and after they give me the opportunity to help them. I am an outgoing person who is very gentle and reliable. I complete tasks properly and in a timely manner. I am respectful and trustworthy. I am highly dedicated to my career.
