About Larra

I have extensive experience in wound care for pressure ulcers and skin disorders. I am very easy going and patient and know how to help with mobility. I see so many people that either have no one at all or have people that cannot do the caregiving. It is not for everyone. what I enjoy most about caregiving is seeing people treated with dignity and like they matter, and not a burden. I am most proud of the fact that I was able to keep my Dad at home, and let him go peacefully at home, instead if a hospital or nursing home.

Experience & Education

I have never had a formal paying caregiver job. I do, however, have over 30 years caregiving experience. I took care of my grandmother in her final years. My Dad was a disabled Vietnam Veteran, and I did his wound and medical care daily. I have a sister that is in a wheelchair. I have spent a lot of years doing work on a computer that was not a fulfilling and meaningful means of making a living. I feel that God has placed a servant's heart within me, and I am looking to fulfill this calling in life.
