I have over 10 years of experience and excellent references. I am available for mild dementia clients and clients that are mobile and do not need lifting. I am patient and very present with my clients, and I focus on bringing joy and connection into the relationship along with supporting them with their needs. I also have a background of organization and domestic support. I love supporting families and individuals keep their homes in order so that the day to day can happen with as much ease as possible.

Laura is such a wonderful person. My mother was struggling with dementia and was having trouble eating. Not only did Mom remember Laura (who could forget the amazing lunches she prepared?) but, she would ask 'When is that sweet lady coming back over? She reads to me...' I'm not joking when I say that I think Mom liked Laura better than my siblings and me. lol And, she was such an incredible support person for my siblings and me as Mom got closer to leaving. She even attended Mom's service as a friend of the family and made food for the reception afterward. Such an angel. I don't think I could fully express this, just typing in a paragraph, but - there are all kinds of things that a person can learn at college or in books. Being the kind of human that Laura is, is just a gift from God. I don't know how else to say that. She is just who you would want your parent to be with in those last days when you can't be there with them yourself. I will always consider her a friend of our family.
