About Laurie

My experience has taught me patience and compassion for individuals afflicted with mental and physical disabilities requiring assistance with daily activities. I am able to handle patients who are ambivalent about their need for outside help and understand the psychological stress individuals face when having to give up their independence and need to rely on others. It is especially rewarding knowing my work is making a difference in people's lives.

I love what I do! I love making a difference in someone's life - if I can make them laugh or smile then I've done my job! If I can get my clients out of the house for shopping, appointments or even lunch then I'm helping them help me! I love making new friends & having everlasting friendships with my clients and their families! For the past 3 years I've been a caregiver for my neighbor's dad (he's 97), I was his morning caregiver (he had round the clock caregiving), I fed him breakfast and lunch, took him to church / bingo every Monday, we did his errands during the week and Fridays we did the library. I really love my job as a caregiver!

Caring for others is in my nature and becoming a caregiver just helped me to improved and learn skills to keep doing it. It's priceless to be able to assist a person and being there to see their gratitude with a smile or kind words. Being a caregiver had give me the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and culture. Over six years of experienced helping clients with dementia, Alzheimer, medication management and daily routine activities.
