About Laura
Experience: 2 yrs
Hello! I'm very easygoing and likeable! I have my own transportation and will help with rides to/from appointments. Very happy to help with cleaning, meal prep, engaging in activities and just being a friend! CPR certified and have several years experience with infection control and caring for elderly people in a healthcare dental setting. I know it's hard to find people you trust to help take care of your loved ones, and I would love to be someone that shows the world still has decent humans and love to provide! I have been taking care of a 79-year-old woman who has dimentia for the last 9 months. I take her to appointments, we go shopping and out for walks in the parks. I help her with her medications and ensure she takes them when she is supposed to. I also care for an elderly man in his 80's with dimentia for the last 10 months as well. He has incontinence issues so I help him with showering and physical therapy. I do some light cleaning and provide meal prepping for both of them.

Excellent Caregiver/Companion!! She has done an amazing job taking care of my mother with frontal lobe dementia while I worked away from home. I call Laura the Bonnie Whisperer because she can get mom to do things I can't:) She's taken on her total care: scheduling doctor and chiropractor visits, nutrition, medication, hearing aids, dentures, and shopping for mom's personal care items. Plus they do arts and crafts, go on outings, take drives, go on walks and laugh everyday. She's also a great cook. If you need care for an aging loved hire Laura. She will make all your lives better.
