I was originally inspired by my two brothers who have autism. As a teenager, I would do volunteer work, both working with Parks and Rec theater programs for special needs people, and being a caregiver for a little girl at church. As I got older, I branched out in my volunteer work, going to psychiatric hospitals, and was certified in my home state as a caregiver and had more job experience. I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful people and it truly makes me happy to feel like I can help others.

    Laura provided childcare for my daughter with Angelman Syndrome. She sits right at her level. She also plays engaging games with her. She has a kind heart and is prompt when you set up your schedule.
