Hello :) my name is Lara ! I am 30 years old. I have 16 years worth of experience in caregiving. It started out when I was 14 years old helping out my grandma who had Alzheimer's. We had a very special bond. I would help her with everyday things like making her food, companionship , and helped her in the bathroom and much more. When she passed away I was 18 years old and my family told me I have a real talent caring for people. They encouraged me to work in the caregiving field. I worked in two senior care homes then after that started doing private caregiving . I also have 12 years experience in the mental health field. I worked in group homes for mentally challenged adults and then I started private caregiving in that field as well. I still work with one client who has turned in to one of the family. If you have anymore questions or want to know more please feel free to message me :) Thanks for reading !
