About Laura

Hello, my name is Laura Kerschner and I would like to thank you for taking a look at my profile and considering me. I grew up in a Christian family as a missionary kid and have been involved in my parents ministry of sharing the gospel with children since high school. In between taking classes and helping out my parents with their business I also was a caretaker for some families at our church. I gave them their medication, helped them get dressed, made their meals, kept things tidy, and kept them company by talking to or playing games with them. We went on walks and watched jeopardy and such. Currently, my husband and I are expecting our first in March of 2020 and I'm really looking for a position where I can bring my son with me while caring for your loved one. I'm a great multitasker, my personality is bouncy and fun, I'm very patient, kind, and understanding and will give your loved one all of my attention and love.

Being a caregiver is not an easy task, no matter the needs or level of dependence of the individual receiving care. While taking care of one's own personal needs is more or less automatic most of the time, switching gears and caring for someone else is not. Putting someone else's needs before yours isn't always easy or fun, but coupled with the knowledge that you made someone's life easier and better, can be incredibly rewarding.
