About Laura

Experience: 10 yrs

Bringing comfort and support to seniors is my calling. With a graduate degree and 20+ years of experience in helping individuals of all ages, I offer respite and permanent care, transportation, and assistance with errands, shopping, and light housekeeping. I am also skilled in meal preparation and able to provide specialized dementia and hospice support. My approach involves understanding each person's unique preferences and history. I adapt to changing routines, de-escalate stressful situations, and handle confusion with patience and empathy. I prioritize clear communication with families, following their preferred method. I am CPR and First Aid trained (but would have to recertify), I have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. I hope to bring my calm, friendly nature to your family.
