Hello, my name is Laura. 
 I am a Widow, Mother, and Grandmother a gardener, and pet Mom. These are all things that I feel make me relatable, and understanding.
I have worked in the helping field for the majority of my career.  I started working in group homes for developmentally delayed adults. I moved from there and became a Education Assistant working with children for 15 yrs. 
Through out my career, I have always been in a position of looking after and helping people in daily living, as well as supporting others to achieve their goals. 
I am always mindful when caring for others that I could just as easily be the person needing care; this inspires me to care for others, as I would expected to be cared for myself.
When people ask me if I like working as a PSW, my reply always is that “it is the best job I have ever had”.  This job has allowed me to meet many interesting people, all who share their stories with me, and their perspectives on the world we live together in. I care about my clients, and do all that I can to  make  them feel comfortable, safe, and well  cared for.
