About Laura

I am a caring and compassionate young woman who is seeking a position as an in home care giver while awaiting my nursing license in CA (expected date Sept - Dec). I am from Manhattan Beach. I am seeking a part-time position in which I can help you or your family member with your daily needs. I sincerely enjoy doing this work, as I have gotten to meet some truly amazing people in the past, have heard an uncountable amount of beautiful stories, and get to spend quality time with those wiser than myself. I love to cook (especially vegetarian meals), exercise, and I love to bake so hopefully your family member can enjoy the fruits of these. I am trained in nursing which has given me knowledge and experience with many ailments and disease courses. I am awaiting my nursing license in California, which can take months. After this I plan to apply to local hospitals. This process can take weeks to months as well. I realize that this could be inconvenient for you as a client, as once I am hired at a hospital I would no longer be able to work with you or your family, but if this would work for you then I would hope we could make a perfect fit.

I'am a warm compassionate and caring individual. It my way of giving back we had help with my mom when she broke her hip. Helping other people making sure they are cared for. I worked with a man with Parkinson disease as well as a diabetic. He was 96 years old when I begin working with him. He was on hospice, with six months to live, he live to be 100 years old and six months. His children say that was due to my cooking and taking care of him, talking with him he just needed someone to show him love and attention.
