Laina S. Care Companion in Orland Park, IL 60467

Why do I love being a caregiver?
I love being a caregiver because it gives me the opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life. I find joy in offering comfort, companionship, and support to those who need it most. For me, caregiving is more than just a job—it's a chance to show compassion, build trust, and help others maintain their dignity and quality of life.

What experience do you have?
I have hands-on experience caring for elderly individuals through both personal and professional settings. At Have a Heart, I provided one-on-one care to an elderly woman, assisting her with daily activities, ensuring her well-being, and offering emotional support. I also worked with the Bethshan Association, where I helped prepare meals for elderly residents, ensuring they had nutritious and enjoyable meals each day. Both roles deepened my understanding of the unique needs of older adults and strengthened my commitment to providing kind and respectful care.

What skills and training do you have?
Through my caregiving experience, I have developed strong skills in personal care, meal preparation, companionship, and household support. I’m attentive, patient, and able to adapt to different care needs and personalities. My time with Have a Heart and Bethshan also taught me the importance of communication and consistency in building trusting relationships with those I care for. I’m always eager to learn and grow in this field, and I take pride in providing reliable and compassionate care every day.
