Add to FavoritesAbout Laura
With over 15 years in the medical field, I provide experienced, dependable, and high-level care for families who want more than basic assistance. My background includes CNA, EMT, Mental Health Technician, and Therapeutic Support Services, with a strong focus on dementia, Alzheimer's, and non-ambulatory care. I specialize in supporting clients who require hands-on, attentive care, including transfers, mobility support, personal care, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how to manage both the physical and emotional needs that come with aging and complex conditions, and I approach every client with patience, respect, and dignity. Families value me for my consistency, strong communication, and ability to step in with confidence. I don't just assist--I take ownership of the care environment so families can have peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Caregiving is personal to me. I take pride in building trust quickly and maintaining it, especially with clients who require a higher level of support. My goal is always to create a stable, reliable experience where both the client and family feel secure. I am CPR and First Aid certified and experienced in working with clients who need full support, including those with dementia and limited mobility. I am open to consistent, private in-home care arrangements for families seeking dependable, high-quality care.
