Making a difference in the lives of adults and seniors is my passion. After a fulfilling 20-year career in technology, I sought a more meaningful path within my community, especially after my own family's struggles to find adequate care for my mom during her battle with cancer. For the past three years, I've provided compassionate home health support, including respite care, transportation, and hospice services. I am adept at meal preparation, light housekeeping, and assisting with mobility and physical activities. I also have experience supporting individuals with dementia, adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and handling behavioral changes. My approach is rooted in earning trust, fostering mutual respect, and empowering clients and their families to live each day to its fullest potential. I prioritize clear communication with families through written reports and verbal updates, always following their preferred method. I am CPR and First Aid certified.
Laurie is truly exceptional and served as a part-time caregiver for my mom who had MS. She assisted my mom with daily tasks such as getting dressed, preparing meals, reminding her to take medications, and engaging her in games and conversation. My mom used a wheelchair, which required a significant amount of physical support, and Laurie always handled those responsibilities with care, patience, and competence. She is willing and able to do whatever is needed, and she approaches every task with a positive attitude. What really sets Laurie apart is her genuine warmth. She always has a smile on her face and takes real pride in helping others. My mom looked forward to her visits and often referred to her as “my friend Laurie,” which speaks volumes. Laurie makes people feel supported, respected, and truly cared for — more like a companion than just a caregiver. She is a wonderful listener, easy to talk to, and never hesitates to pitch in with anything that needs to be done. Laurie is dependable, compassionate, and someone you can trust completely with your loved ones. I recommend her without hesitation.
