Larissa’s Bio

Hello there! I'm Larissa Wright, and I'm thrilled to share a bit about myself with you. With over 4 years of dedicated experience in both live-in and out caregiving, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, from children to the elderly. My passion lies in making a positive impact on their lives by providing comprehensive care and support. My caregiving journey has equipped me with the skills to assist with various aspects of daily life. From mobility and transportation to dressing, grooming, and preparing nourishing meals, I am dedicated to ensuring that individuals under my care experience the highest quality of life possible. I take immense pride in rejuvenating and enriching the lives of my clients, infusing vitality and joy back into their daily routines. Beyond caregiving, I have a variety of personal interests that keep me inspired and engaged. Music production is a true passion of mine, allowing me to explore the art of sound and creativity. I also find solace in arts and crafts, particularly knitting, as well as the profound world of literature through reading. As I pursue personal and professional growth, I'm currently enrolled in the Los Angeles Film School online program for Audio Engineering. With graduation slated for next May, I'm excited to dive deeper into the world of sound and its boundless possibilities. One aspect of caregiving that I cherish is the opportunity to connect with the elderly clients I serve. Building meaningful relationships and exchanging life advice and knowledge is something I deeply value. A testament to this is my close relationship with my last client, who lived a remarkable 99 years. Our connection extended beyond caregiving, making them a cherished part of my life. I'm enthusiastic about the prospect of getting to know you all and contributing positively to your lives. Together, let's create an environment of care, understanding, and growth.
