Loryn’s Bio
My name is Loryn. I'm 33 years old. Born and raised in Tuscaloosa al. Roll tide!! I am a mother to 3 children, 2 - 8yr old twins and a 13 yr old. I first started caring for the elderly when I was 15 years old because my great aunt and uncle need some extra help around the house. It turned into a job I loved and stayed at for years. My aunt ended up with Alzheimer's disease and that's when I started studying about this awful disease and trying to learn how to make things easier for the person with the disease. I work with them til I was 21 years old, they passed away and the only job I worked at from that moment has been with the elderly. I love to hear their stories and how things used to be, and I love being able to be any help to them as I possibly can. I have a huge place in my heart for the elderly. My next job was with the lady that created La Rocca nursing home in Albert. I sat with her for years before the tornado came through and the family put her into a nursing home. I love helping people (especially the elderly), and a elderly caregiver is the only thing I've ever done and that's where my passion is. If you'd like to know more, feel free to ask.
