About Larissa

Experience: 4 yrs

Hello , my name is Lara and thank you for considering me for this position! My first job was at a senior care facility (in Arlington Hts.) and I have always had a great rapport with our elders. In addition to personally caring for my own mother and others in the past, I have been professionally working as a senior caregiver for an agency and for myself over the past couple years. As I go along, it genuinely feels as though I am just meeting another friend (not just a client)! I am responsible, kind, patient, positive, fun, and flexible! I can do the basics and anything else that comes along. You or your loved one would be in safe environment in my care. I am certified in CPR, First Aide, CPI (from my special needs teaching assistant background), and Caregiver Training University. I have also been fingerprinted for security checks and would be happy to share a resume and or references.

Larissa is the best! She is so helpful to my father who has dementia. She has been around for the past year and I have noticed since we hired her my Dad has been a lot happier. She helps him get groceries and gets him out of the house more. His quality of life has definitely improved with the addition of Larissa. I highly recommend her!
