Lafonia’s Bio

I am a loveable, dependable, fun, enthustiastic, inspirational, caring person willing to go above and beyond to assist and care for individuals. I am married with 8 children and 12 grandchildren. My youngest child is a Junior in High School.

I have over 20 + years experience assisting people with special needs. I grow up with my younger sibling whom had autism. My step mother made my sisters and I take on the reponsibility of caring for her daily which included bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding and other responsiblilities.

I worked at Manchester Nursing Home in Media, Pa when I was 14 years old. I use to work as a Nurse Assistant Helper. I use to help the Nurse Aides make the beds, feed the patients, read and sing to the patients and help prepare the patients for bed (bathing, grooming and dressing)

My friends and I use to go around our community in Media, PA and sing to our elderly neighbors. We also use to go shopping at the store for our elderly neighbors.

I worked at AdvoServ as a housekeeper for 2 years. I cooked, cleaned, did laundry and enjoyed working with the children and adults with disabilities.

I worked for Preferred Health Mates as a companion for 1 year. I use to clean my clients house, prepare meals, take my client grocery shopping and do laundry.

I was a caregiver/companion for my bestfriend for 2 years. I took her to doctor appointments, the grocery store, mall, casino, I cooked, cleaned and helped out with cleaning. She passed away in 11/29/2009.

I currently work at Christiana Care Hospital in the Operating Room scheduling surgical procedures for Surgeon's. I work part-time every weekend. I have been working at Christiana Care for over 10 years in the Operating Room.
