About Laura

I am a great caregiver because I sincerely care about the well being of others and I enjoy fulfilling the needs of those who need care and assistance. I have experience caring for people in need of personal care: a gentleman with lung cancer and COPD, a man with bipolar and schizophrenia and diabetes, a woman with breast cancer and diabetes, two women with Alzheimer's/dementia. I also have much experience as an educator for students of all ages, teaching reading, writing, history and study skills. A personal achievement I am proud of is caring for my father until he passed away in a way that he experienced joy and laughter.
